CVE-2022-4297 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability affecting the WP AutoComplete Search WordPress plugin up to version 1.0.4. The flaw stems from insufficient sanitization of a parameter used in an AJAX-enabled SQL statement, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious code. This critical vulnerability, rated 9.8 CVSS, carries a high risk of complete compromise (confidentiality, integrity, availability) due to its network-based, low-complexity attack vector requiring no privileges or user interaction. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB proof-of-concept (EDB-51560) exists, though there is currently no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
