Description

WordPress Plugin Sooqr Search is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers perform a restricted file upload because the application fails to properly verify user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and run it in the context of the webserver process, which may result in cross-site scripting; other attacks are also possible. WordPress Plugin Sooqr Search version 1.1.4 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Disable the plugin until a fix is available
