Description
The SearchWP Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to leaking a nonce protecting a function used to modify plugin settings in versions up to, and including, 4.2.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to obtain the nonce and modify the plugin's settings.
