Vulnerabilities
- Medium 5.4
CVE-2022-4649contributor+→ 2.1.2
WP Extended Search < 2.1.2 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode
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).
