Vulnerability Overview

The SearchWP Live Ajax Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary post title disclosure in versions up to, and including, 1.6.1. This is due to insufficient checking of a post status before displaying to a user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view post titles even when they are not in a 'publish' state.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.6.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
