Limitación incorrecta de un nombre de ruta a una vulnerabilidad de directorio restringido ("Path Traversal") en Rank Math Rank Math SEO permite Path Traversal. Este problema afecta a Rank Math SEO: desde n/a hasta 1.0.107.2.

The RankMath SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion via the 'update_schemas' and 'get_snippet_content' functions. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls or obtain sensitive data.
