Descriptions

The All in One SEO WordPress plugin before 4.1.5.3 is affected by a Privilege Escalation issue, which was discovered during an internal audit by the Jetpack Scan team, and may grant bad actors access to protected REST API endpoints they shouldn’t have access to. This could ultimately enable users with low-privileged accounts, like subscribers, to perform remote code execution on affected sites.

El plugin All in One SEO de WordPress versiones anteriores a 4.1.5.3, está afectado por un problema de escalada de privilegios, que fue detectado durante una auditoría interna por el equipo de Jetpack Scan, y podría conceder a malos actores acceso a endpoints de la API REST protegidos a los que no deberían tener acceso. Esto podría, en última instancia, permitir a usuarios con cuentas de bajo privilegio, como los suscriptores, llevar a cabo una ejecución de código remota en los sitios afectados
