Descriptions

The Relevanssi – A Better Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the relevanssi_update_counts() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.22.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute expensive queries on the application that could lead into DOS.

El complemento Relevanssi – A Better Search para WordPress es vulnerable a modificaciones no autorizadas de datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función relevanssi_update_counts() en todas las versiones hasta la 4.22.1 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados ejecuten consultas costosas en la aplicación que podrían conducir a DOS.
