Descriptions

The Ivory Search – WordPress Search Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax_create_index() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to trigger index creation.

El complemento Ivory Search – WordPress Search Plugin para WordPress es vulnerable a modificaciones no autorizadas de datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función ajax_create_index() en todas las versiones hasta la 5.5.5 incluida. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso a nivel de suscriptor y superior, activen la creación de índices.
