CVE-2026-7624
SEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO <= 12.4.16 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Contributor+) Privileged Cloud API Operations
Description
The SEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 12.4.16. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to invoke privileged state-changing Squirrly cloud API operations, such as revoking the site's Google Search Console and Google Analytics integrations via `api/gsc/revoke` and `api/ga/revoke`, that are otherwise restricted to administrator-level users holding the `sq_manage_settings` capability.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: plugin de WordPress SEO Plugin, Description: El plugin SEO de Squirrly SEO para WordPress es vulnerable a un bypass de autorización en todas las versiones hasta la 12.4.16, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin no verifica adecuadamente que un usuario está autorizado para realizar una acción. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, invoquen operaciones privilegiadas de la API en la nube de Squirrly que cambian el estado, como revocar las integraciones de Google Search Console y Google Analytics del sitio a través de 'api/gsc/revoke' y 'api/ga/revoke', que de otro modo están restringidas a usuarios de nivel de administrador que poseen la capacidad 'sq_manage_settings'. -
