Summary

The Rank Math SEO WordPress plugin before 1.0.280 does not escape a stored redirection source value before outputting it in an administrative list view. A user who can manage redirections, by default Administrators, can store JavaScript that runs in the session of any user who later opens that view, including a Super Administrator on multisite, which is cross-site scripting (CWE-79). Exploitation requires a user with high privileges and user interaction, and the CVSS base score is 3.5 (low severity). A public exploit is linked in the references.
