Vulnerabilities
- Medium 6.5
CVE-2024-51884login required≤ 1.2.2
WordPress Posts Search plugin <= 1.2.2 - Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
