Better Find and Replace <= 1.7.7 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Limited Code Injection
Summary
The Better Find and Replace – AI-Powered Suggestions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Limited Code Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.7. This is due to insufficient input validation and restriction on the 'rtafar_ajax' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to call arbitrary plugin functions and execute code within those functions.
