Post modification and disclosure via unchecked REST authorization
Published Jul 23, 2026 · Updated Jul 23, 2026
Missing authorization in Praison AI SEO before 5.0.7 allows remote attackers to alter published-post permalinks or read plugin settings. Several aiseo/v1 REST routes omit effective permission checks, so unauthenticated requests reach post-update and configuration-read handlers. No account, cookie, or nonce is required; permalink changes affect attacker-selected published posts, while disclosure is limited to plugin configuration.
