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.
When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
The product does not properly account for differences in case sensitivity when accessing or determining the properties of a resource, leading to inconsistent results.
