CVE-2023-1435
The Ajax Search Pro WordPress plugin before 4.26.2 does not sanitise and escape various parameters before outputting them back in pages, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.46%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
