Description

The Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on remove_query_arg and add_query_arg. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
