| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required beyond the target WordPress site having the JetSearch plugin installed, active, and running a version at or below 3.6.1.2. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms remote unauthenticated exploitation against any network-reachable installation with no configuration prerequisites. Limiting factors include: (1) the plugin must be installed and activated - sites not using JetSearch are not affected; (2) impact is restricted to low-grade confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability consequences, reducing incentive for targeted attacks; (3) no user interaction is required, meaning exploitation does not depend on a victim performing any action. |
| Impact | The CVSS base score of 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N signals a low-complexity, unauthenticated network-accessible flaw, but with only partial confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability consequences. Real-world risk is moderate: the attack requires no authentication and no user interaction, making opportunistic scanning trivial, but the impact is bounded to low-grade information disclosure rather than code execution or data manipulation. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. No KEV listing and no public exploit code have been identified, suggesting this is not currently under active widespread exploitation. The primary concern is that exposed sensitive data - depending on exactly what is disclosed - could serve as reconnaissance input for a chained attack (e.g., leaked paths enabling local file inclusion, or leaked keys enabling API abuse). CVSS signals and description are consistent with each other; no conflict to flag. The absence of a confirmed fixed version number in the provided data is a gap worth noting for patch verification. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request - likely targeting a WordPress AJAX endpoint or REST API route registered by JetSearch - to an internet-facing WordPress site running version 3.6.1.2 or earlier. The plugin processes the request without enforcing access controls and returns a response containing embedded sensitive system information such as internal file paths, configuration values, or similar metadata. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity makes manual replication straightforward for a moderately skilled attacker. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026
Unauthenticated sensitive data exposure in Crocoblock JetSearch WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.6.1.2) permits remote attackers to retrieve embedded sensitive system information without any credentials or user interaction. The flaw is classified under CWE-497, indicating the plugin surfaces internal system data through an externally accessible vector. With a network-accessible, zero-privilege attack path confirmed by the CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector, any internet-facing WordPress installation running a vulnerable JetSearch version is exposed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update JetSearch to the version released after 3.6.1.2 via the WordPress plugin dashboard or by downloading directly from the Crocoblock/WordPress plugin repository; the exact patched version number was not specified in the source data and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/jet-search/vulnerability/wordpress-jetsearch-plugin-3-6-1-2-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability before applying. If an update is not immediately available, a compensating control is to deactivate the JetSearch plugin entirely - this eliminates the attack surface at the cost of losing the plugin's search functionality. Alternatively, a web application firewall (WAF) rule blocking unauthenticated access to the plugin's AJAX or REST endpoints can limit exposure, though this approach requires identifying the specific vulnerable endpoint and may break legitimate plugin operation. Site administrators should also audit server logs for anomalous unauthenticated requests targeting JetSearch endpoints as an indicator of prior reconnaissance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
JetSearch (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:crocoblock:jetsearch:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a WordPress plugin developed by Crocoblock, designed to provide advanced search functionality for Elementor-based WordPress sites. CWE-497 (Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere) identifies the root cause as the plugin inadvertently embedding or returning sensitive system data - such as server paths, configuration fragments, API keys, or internal metadata - within responses accessible to unauthenticated network requesters. This class of flaw typically arises when debug output, error messages, or internal data structures are included in plugin AJAX handlers or REST API endpoints without access control enforcement. The affected version range extends from the earliest available version through and including 3.6.1.2, as reported by Patchstack.
