WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Yoast SEO < 26.9 - Contributor+ Stored XSS

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the the `yoast-schema` block attribute due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
