High CVSS 7.2
CVE-2026-1667
The SEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Post Creation and Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 14.0.0 due to a leak of an API token and insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create arbitrary posts, and, if the Advanced Custom Fields plugin is installed and activated, inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some data and alter some data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- No authorisation check happens before the action.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
