CVE-2026-10821 Sep 02, 14:16 MEDIUM POC PATCH This Month

Control-character (newline) injection in Yoast SEO Premium before 27.6.1 allows an authenticated WordPress Author to write arbitrary Apache directives into the site's root .htaccess file via unsanitized redirect origins in file-based redirect mode. On Apache servers that process PHP directives, the injected auto_prepend_file directive can be chained with a polyglot image upload (available to Author-role users) to achieve full Remote Code Execution as the web server process. A public exploit is available via WPScan, making real-world exploitation feasible wherever the three required conditions align.

Affecting all versions through 26.6, this is a CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) flaw reported by Patchstack. No public exploit code or active exploitation via CISA KEV has been identified at time of analysis.
