CVE-2021-4400 (GCVE-0-2021-4400)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2023-07-01 05:33 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:02
VLAI
Title
Better Search <= 2.5.2 - Cross-Site Request Forgery Bypass
Summary
The Better Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.5.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the bsearch_process_settings_import() and bsearch_process_settings_export() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to import and export settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

CVE-2021-4400 (GCVE-0-2021-4400)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-07-01 05:33 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:02
VLAI
Title
Better Search <= 2.5.2 - Cross-Site Request Forgery Bypass
Summary
The Better Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.5.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the bsearch_process_settings_import() and bsearch_process_settings_export() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to import and export settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Severity
4.3 (Medium)
SSVC
Exploitation: none
Automatable: no
Technical Impact: partial
