Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38456 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ernest Marcinko Ajax Search Lite. 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-2022-38456/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38456/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38456","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38456/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38456","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x4j8-7fh7-f669"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can access sensitive information from the Ajax Search Lite plugin without authorization, potentially exposing private data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"ajax_search","vendor":"ajax_search_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Ernest Marcinko Ajax Search Lite plugin \u003c= 4.10.3 versions.","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 Ajax Search Lite Plugin \u003c= 4.10.3 is vulnerable to Sensitive Data Exposure","id":"CVE-2022-38456","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"There is an UAF vulnerability in vmwgfx driver","id":"CVE-2022-38457"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Kraken.io Image Optimizer plugin \u003c= 2.6.5 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38454"},"products":["Ajax Search Lite"],"published":"2023-03-15","related":[],"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":["Ernest Marcinko"]},"summary":"An attacker can access sensitive information from the Ajax Search Lite plugin without authorization, potentially exposing private data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38456/"}
