CVE-2024-7630: relevanssi vulnerability

What is known

The Relevanssi – A Better Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.22.2 (Free) and 2.25.1 (Premium) via the relevanssi_do_query() due to insufficient limitations on the posts that are returned when searching. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract potentially sensitive information from password protected posts.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-7630, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) affecting relevanssi, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
