Until an official fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and monitor for plugin updates from the vendor. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users and consider disabling or replacing the plugin if sensitive data exposure risk is unacceptable.
Description
The Search & Filter Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'get_meta_values' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.19. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the values of arbitrary post meta.
