Description

The WordPress WP-Advanced-Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated database export in versions up to, and including, 3.3.3 via the WP_Advanced_Search_Export() function which makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export a vulnerable site's entire database. This is due to the WP_Advanced_Search_Export() function being hooked via an admin_post_nopriv action that is available to all users.
