CVE-2024-5488

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SEOPress versions prior to 7.9

Description The issue is related to insufficient protection of some REST API routes in the SEOPress WordPress plugin, which can be combined with an Object Injection vulnerability to allow unauthenticated attackers to unserialize malicious gadget chains. This can compromise the site if a suitable chain is present. The vulnerability is also related to flaws in the deserialization mechanism, which can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands in the web console.

Recommendations For versions prior to 7.9, update to version 7.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the REST API routes until a patch is available. Avoid using the vulnerable Object Injection functionality in the SEOPress plugin until the issue is resolved.
