Search Exclude <= 2.5.7 – Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Search Settings Modification via REST API
medium
✓ patched
The Search Exclude plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a insufficient capability check on the Base::get_rest_permission() method in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to modify plugin settings, such as adding arbitrary posts to the search exclusion list.

medium
✓ patched
The Search Exclude plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the get_rest_permission function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.9. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings, excluding content from search results.
