Rank Math SEO vulnerabilities

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not perform a capability or nonce check before clearing its stored SEO analysis data, allowing unauthenticated users to delete it.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not escape a stored redirection source value before outputting it in an administrative list view, allowing users who can manage redirections (Administrators by default) to store JavaScript that executes in the session of any user who later opens that view, including a Super Administrator on multisite.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL query, allowing high-privilege users such as administrators to perform SQL injection attacks.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not correctly validate the type of a file uploaded through its settings import feature, allowing users with administrator-level access to upload a PHP file and achieve remote code execution.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before version 1.0.277 does not perform a capability check when bulk metadata updates target taxonomy terms, and reuses the supplied object identifier across object types, allowing users with the Author role and above to modify the SEO metadata of terms they cannot edit and to overwrite the titles of posts belonging to other users.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before version 1.0.277 does not verify that the requesting user is permitted to read the specific post referenced in a request before returning its content and SEO metadata. This allows users with the Author role and above to read the title, body, and metadata of other users' non-public posts.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before version 1.0.277 does not verify that a user is allowed to edit the object being modified before updating its SEO indexing metadata. This allows users with the Author role and above to alter that metadata on content, taxonomy terms, and user profiles they do not own, and to remove other users' content from the site's sitemap and search engine index.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before version 1.0.277 does not verify that the post whose schema it renders on the front end is publicly viewable. This allows unauthenticated visitors to disclose the schema and associated content of draft, pending, private, scheduled, and password-protected posts.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.277 does not check that the user requesting an automated SEO fix holds the capability WordPress itself requires for the settings being changed, allowing users with the Editor role to modify site-wide core WordPress settings that are reserved to administrators.

Vulnerability allowing remote code execution (RCE) by a user with the author role in the Rank Math SEO plugin in versions up to and including 1.0.276.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Rank Math SEO plugin up to version 1.0.274.1, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious scripts into pages.

The Rank Math SEO plugin for WordPress (up to 1.0.271) contains a Missing Authorization vulnerability that allows exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels. This may enable unauthorized users to access functions or data they should not have access to.
