Contributor disclosure via missing term authorization
Published Sep 11, 2026 · Updated Sep 11, 2026
Broken access control in Slim SEO 4.10.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read term meta tags through its REST API. The term meta-tags route accepts a requested taxonomy term without verifying that the caller is authorized to access that term's metadata. Contributor-level access is required, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of metadata belonging to another term.
