CVE-2026-8617 Details
Description
The SearchPlus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and deletion of data in versions up to, and including, 1.7.1. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce validation on the searchplus_save_token_action_callback() and searchplus_reset_token_action_callback() functions, both of which are exposed to unauthenticated users through the wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite or delete the plugin's stored account token and account name options (dym_token, dym_name, searchplus_token, searchplus_name, sp_token, sp_name).
A vulnerability exists in the SearchPlus plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 1.7.1. The issue stems from a lack of proper capability checks and nonce validation in the 'searchplus_save_token_action_callback()' and 'searchplus_reset_token_action_callback()' functions. These functions are accessible to unauthenticated users via the 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' hooks. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can overwrite or delete various stored account token and name options related to the plugin.
