Description

The SearchWP Live Ajax Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary post title disclosure in versions up to, and including, 1.6.1. This is due to insufficient checking of a post status before displaying to a user. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view post titles even when they are not in a 'publish' state.
