The SmartCrawl WordPress SEO checker, SEO analyzer, SEO optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized ld+json description injection due to a missing capability check on the save_settings function in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save schema types.
