| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 22.5
Description
The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URLs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The vulnerability affects over 5 million active installations worldwide.
Recommendations
For versions up to and including 22.5, update to a version higher than 22.5 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to URLs that may be used for Cross-Site Scripting attacks until a patch is available. Avoid using URLs that can be manipulated by attackers in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
Fix
