Description

The Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Data Exposure in versions up to, and including 3.2.4. This is due to privileged AJAX actions being executable by regular users. This makes it possible for registered attackers to extract sensitive data including Yoast SEO settings and post metadata relative to focus and term keywords.
