When the plugin's `wpmsTemplateRedirect()` hook detects a 404, it concatenates `$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']` with the raw `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` and inserts that value verbatim into the `wp_wpms_links.link_url` column via `$wpdb->insert()`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever an administrator views the plugin's 404 & Redirects admin page (`/wp-admin/admin.php?page=metaseo_broken_link`).","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":7.2},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-meta-seo/tags/4.5.18/inc/class.metaseo-broken-link-table.php#L894","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-meta-seo/tags/4.5.18/wp-meta-seo.php#L1135","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-meta-seo/tags/4.5.18/wp-meta-seo.php#L1171","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?old_path=/wp-meta-seo/tags/4.5.12&new_path=/wp-meta-seo/tags/4.5.13","https://ti.wordfence.io/vulnerabilities/ca91e41d-b728-4eb0-86d5-043813d8c2c1"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-9643","score":0.00419,"percentile":0.36202,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
