Description
The Search Exclude plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the get_rest_permission function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.9. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings, excluding content from search results.
