Summary

The Search Exclude plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a insufficient capability check on the Base::get_rest_permission() method in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to modify plugin settings, such as adding arbitrary posts to the search exclusion list.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with Contributor privileges can alter plugin settings, potentially hiding or exposing content in search results, affecting data integrity.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to a version newer than 2.5.7 or apply the vendor fix. Until then, consider restricting Contributor privileges.
