The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not escape a stored redirection source value before outputting it in an administrative list view, allowing users who can manage redirections (Administrators by default) to store JavaScript that executes in the session of any user who later opens that view, including a Super Administrator on multisite.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not correctly validate the type of a file uploaded through its settings import feature, allowing users with administrator-level access to upload a PHP file and achieve remote code execution.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before version 1.0.277 does not verify that the requesting user is permitted to read the specific post referenced in a request before returning its content and SEO metadata.

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before version 1.0.277 does not verify that the post whose schema it renders on the front end is publicly viewable.
