CVE-2026-13703: CWE-284 Improper Access Control in SEO Redirection Plugin
CVE-2026-13703 is a medium severity vulnerability in the SEO Redirection Plugin for WordPress versions before 9.19. The plugin fails to perform a capability check in one of its authenticated AJAX actions, allowing any logged-in user, including low-privileged roles like subscribers, to read the site's configured 301 redirect rules. This exposure includes both source and destination URLs of redirects.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The SEO Redirection Plugin for WordPress prior to version 9.19 contains an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284). Specifically, one authenticated AJAX action does not verify user capabilities, enabling any logged-in user to access sensitive configuration data related to 301 redirects. This could disclose internal URL mappings that are intended to be restricted to higher-privileged users.
Potential Impact
An attacker with any authenticated user account can enumerate the site's 301 redirect rules, revealing potentially sensitive URL mappings. This information disclosure could aid in further reconnaissance or targeted attacks but does not directly allow modification or denial of service.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles that can authenticate or monitor for unauthorized access to the AJAX action if possible.
