CVE-2024-13227

CVSS v3.1

6.4

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Rank Math SEO – AI SEO Tools to Dominate SEO Rankings plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.235
Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's Rank Math API due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.0.235, update to a version higher than 1.0.235 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Rank Math API to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, limiting contributor-level access and above can help reduce the attack surface until a patch is applied.
