An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-36282 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Roman Pronskiy Search Exclude (WordPress plugin). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36282/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36282/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-36282","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36282/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-36282","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jcf3-c57g-x3rf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated editors can inject malicious scripts into the Search Exclude plugin, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"search_exclude","vendor":"search_exclude_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Authenticated (editor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Roman Pronskiy's Search Exclude plugin \u003c= 1.2.6 at WordPress.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Search Exclude plugin \u003c= 1.2.6 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-36282","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2022-36283"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2022-36281"},"products":["Search Exclude (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-08-23","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-15895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Roman Pronskiy"]},"summary":"Authenticated editors can inject malicious scripts into the Search Exclude plugin, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-36282/"}
