Input validation vulnerability in WordPress WP-Advanced-Search 3.3.8

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Open
  • Publication: March 14, 2023

The WP-Advanced-Search plugin for WordPress has a security issue in versions up to 3.3.8. This security issue makes it possible for people who are not authenticated (not logged in) to update certain settings in the plugin. They can do this by tricking a site administrator into clicking on a link. This is because the plugin does not have the right protection (called a nonce) to validate requests.
