2DescriptionCVE.org
The SearchWiz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via post titles in search results in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to the plugin using esc_attr() instead of esc_html() when outputting post titles in search results. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in post titles that will execute whenever a user performs a search and views the search results page.
AnalysisAI
Stored XSS in the SearchWiz WordPress plugin through version 1.0.0 allows authenticated contributors and above to inject malicious scripts into post titles that execute when other users view search results.
