Description
The Premium SEO WordPress plugin contains a critical vulnerability that introduces an unauthenticated backdoor. This backdoor allows attackers to create hidden administrator accounts and, in some versions, enables remote code execution, server-side request forgery, and arbitrary front-end script or content injection. These flaws give unauthenticated attackers full control over affected sites.
