Last updated on: 2026-01-28

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Search Atlas SEO – Premier SEO Plugin for One-Click WP Publishing & Integrated AI Optimization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass due to a missing capability check on the 'generate_sso_url' and 'validate_sso_token' functions in versions 2.4.4 to 2.5.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to extract the 'nonce_token' authentication value to log in to the first Administrator's account.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Search Atlas SEO plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions 2.4.4 to 2.5.12. It is caused by a missing capability check on the 'generate_sso_url' and 'validate_sso_token' functions. This flaw allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to bypass authentication by extracting the 'nonce_token' authentication value, enabling them to log in as the first Administrator account.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with at least Subscriber-level access can exploit this vulnerability to gain Administrator-level access to the WordPress site. This can lead to full control over the site, including the ability to modify content, change settings, install malicious code, or compromise user data, resulting in a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
