Description

The Rank Math SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing access controls on its "disable competitor plugins" functionality in versions up to, and including, 1.0.42.1. This makes it possible for subscriber-level attackers to disable other SEO or sitemap plugins on the site.
