CVE-2026-0694SearchWiz <= 1.0.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Post Title
Medium 6.4
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in SearchWiz from searchwiz. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 17% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The SearchWiz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via post titles in search results in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to the plugin using `esc_attr()` instead of `esc_html()` when outputting post titles in search results. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in post titles that will execute whenever a user performs a search and views the search results page.
