What is CVE-2020-12070?

The Advanced Woo Search plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a vulnerability that allows sensitive information to be disclosed through ajax search requests. Specifically, when users perform searches using the plugin, data can be revealed due to improper sanitization of the sql field in the 'class-aws-search.php' file. This may potentially expose sensitive user information, which could be exploited by malicious actors. Users are encouraged to upgrade to version 2.00 or later to mitigate this risk.
