WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Rank Math SEO < 1.0.277 - Author+ Robots and Pillar Content Meta Update on Non-Owned Objects via mark_page_as
Description
The plugin does not verify that a user is allowed to edit the object being modified before updating its SEO indexing metadata, allowing 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.
