Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-104751 describes a missing authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in the Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.0.280. The plugin fails to perform capability or nonce checks before clearing its stored SEO analysis data, enabling unauthenticated users to delete this data without proper permissions.

Potential Impact

An attacker without authentication can delete stored SEO analysis data in the affected plugin versions. This could disrupt SEO-related functionality or cause data loss but does not directly lead to code execution or privilege escalation based on the available information.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade the Rank Math SEO plugin to version 1.0.280 or later where this authorization check issue is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated.
