Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Ivory Search – WordPress Search Plugin versions up to, and including, 5.5.6

Description The issue allows unauthenticated attackers to extract text data from password-protected posts using a boolean-based attack on the AJAX search form. This is made possible through the ajax load posts function.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 5.5.6, consider disabling the ajax load posts function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the AJAX search form to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
