- CVE-2026-16612, 22 Aug 2026
- The FiboSearch WordPress plugin before 1.34.1 does not consistently exclude password-protected products from its unauthenticated AJAX endpoints, allowing unauthenticated users to disclose and enumerate password-protected products and their metadata without entering the product password.

- CVE-2025-14298, 20 Dec 2025
- The FiboSearch - Ajax Search for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `thegem_te_search` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.32.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This vulnerability requires TheGem theme (premium) to be installed with Header Builder mode enabled, and the FiboSearch "Replace search bars" option enabled for TheGem integration. CVE record

- CVE-2022-1469, 8 Jun 2022

What to do if you run FiboSearch
