Broken access control in the Praison AI SEO WordPress plugin before 5.0.7 lets unauthenticated attackers reach several REST API routes that lack authorization checks, allowing them to alter the permalink of any published post and to read the plugin's stored configuration data. WPScan reported the issue and publicly available exploit code exists, though EPSS remains low at 0.19% and it is not on CISA KEV. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires only that a WordPress site runs the Praison AI SEO plugin at a version below 5.0.7 with its REST API reachable over the network - the default state for an installed plugin, since WordPress exposes /wp-json/ routes by design. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed and should temper the 7.5 CVSS. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends anonymous HTTP requests directly to the plugin's unprotected REST API routes, reading back the plugin's configuration data (potentially including stored keys or SEO settings) and issuing a follow-up request to rewrite the permalink of a targeted published post. This requires no authentication, no user interaction, and only low attack complexity; public exploit code from WPScan lowers the bar further. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 5.0.7 - update the Praison AI SEO plugin to version 5.0.7 or later, which is the primary and complete fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
