WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Relevanssi - Subscriber+ Unauthorised AJAX Calls

Description

The plugins do not have authorisation and CSRF checks in some of their AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber, to call them. This could disclose information to subscribers, as well as allow them to truncate the index, which will disable the search
