Descriptions

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.219 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow users with access to the General Settings (by default admin, however such access can be given to lower roles via the Role Manager feature of the Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.219) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).

El complemento Rank Math SEO de WordPress anterior a 1.0.219 no sanitiza ni escapa a algunas de sus configuraciones, lo que podría permitir a los usuarios acceder a la Configuración general (de forma predeterminada, administrador, sin embargo, dicho acceso se puede otorgar a roles inferiores a través de la función Administrador de roles de el complemento Rank Math SEO de WordPress anterior a 1.0.219) para realizar ataques de Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado incluso cuando la capacidad unfiltered_html no está permitida (por ejemplo, en una configuración multisitio).

The Rank Math SEO – AI SEO Tools to Dominate SEO Rankings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.218 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
