Missing Authorization
CVSS 6.5 (Medium)
Publicly Published May 15, 2023
Last Updated May 15, 2023

Description

The Predictive Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and disclosure of data due to missing capability checks on the wp_predictive_search_rebuild_cat_cache_ajax and wp_predictive_search_build_category_cache_error_ajax functions called via wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv hooks in versions up to, and including, 1.2.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to rebuild category cache and view any messages in the error log.
