This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user visits a crafted URL. Exploitation requires the victim to hold the aioseo_manage_seo capability and to open the SEO Preview panel in the WordPress admin toolbar while visiting a page with a malicious payload embedded in the URL pathname.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.1},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/all-in-one-seo-pack/tags/5.0.1.1/dist/Lite/assets/js/GoogleSearchPreview.8286359f.js#L1","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/all-in-one-seo-pack/tags/5.0.1.1/dist/Lite/assets/js/app-core.36551fe5.js#L1","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&new=3709882%40all-in-one-seo-pack%2Ftags%2F5.0.2&old=3670552%40all-in-one-seo-pack%2Ftags%2F5.0.1.1","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/5d4da592-3e8a-401d-b461-1770db9de654?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-85492","score":0.00211,"percentile":0.1122,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
