Descriptions

The Rank Math plugin through 1.0.40.2 for WordPress allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create new URIs (that redirect to an external web site) via the unsecured rankmath/v1/updateRedirection REST API endpoint. In other words, this is not an "Open Redirect" issue; instead, it allows the attacker to create a new URI with an arbitrary name (e.g., the /exampleredirect URI).

El plugin Rank Math versiones hasta 1.0.40.2 para WordPress, permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados crear nuevos URI (que redireccionan a un sitio web externo) por medio del endpoint API REST de rankmath/v1/updateRedirection no seguro. En otras palabras, este no es un problema de "Open Redirect"; sin embargo, le permite al atacante crear un nuevo URI con un nombre arbitrario (por ejemplo, el URI /exampleredirect).
