Severity
9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
The SEO LAT Auto Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to file overwrite due to a missing capability check on the remote_update AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the seo-beginner-auto-post.php file which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution.
