This is due to the plugin permanently granting the 'rankingcoach_write_redirectManager' (and sibling rankingcoach_write_* module capabilities) to the Contributor role via BaseModule::defineCapabilities(), whose default role list includes 'contributor', combined with the module's REST endpoints (registered through BaseSubmoduleApi::registerRouteCreate/registerRouteEdit/registerRouteDelete) authorizing state-changing requests solely through checkPermissionsPost(), which only calls current_user_can('rankingcoach_write_<module>') and performs no admin capability, ownership, or additional nonce check inside the callback. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to effectively that of an Administrator with respect to site-wide redirect management — creating, updating, or deleting 301/302 redirects that RedirectManagerHooks::handleRedirects() executes for every frontend visitor on template_redirect, allowing hijacking of arbitrary paths (including /checkout, /wp-login.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","score":6.3},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/beyondseo/tags/1.3.1/inc/Modules/ModuleBase/BaseModule.php#L249","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/beyondseo/tags/1.3.1/inc/Modules/ModuleBase/BaseSubmoduleApi.php#L289","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/beyondseo/tags/1.3.1/inc/Modules/ModuleLibrary/Links/RedirectManager/RedirectManager.php#L67","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/beyondseo/tags/1.3.1/inc/Modules/ModuleLibrary/Links/RedirectManager/RedirectManagerApi.php#L266","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/beyondseo/tags/1.3.1/inc/Modules/ModuleLibrary/Links/RedirectManager/RedirectManagerHooks.php#L51"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-28T07:37:43.411221249+00:00"},"epss":null,"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
