- CVE-2026-15947, 19 Sep 2026
- The Metasync plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the save_instant_indexing_settings() function in versions up to, and including, 2.6.23. This function is registered on the admin_init hook and only checks for the presence of $_POST['submit'] before writing attacker-supplied $_POST['metasync_post_types'] into the site-wide 'metasync_options_instant_indexing' option via update_option(); no current_user_can()/current_user_has_plugin_access() check and no nonce verification are performed. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify the site's Google Instant Indexing post-type configuration, controlling which post types are auto-submitted to Google's Instant Indexing service.

- CVE-2026-15946, 19 Sep 2026
- The Search Atlas SEO - Premier SEO Plugin for One-Click WP Publishing & Integrated AI Optimization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.23. 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 subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the whitelabel settings password to an attacker-controlled value, enabling them to unlock whitelabel-protected admin settings tabs including whitelabel, general, and advanced configuration. CVE record
- CVE-2026-15247, 5 Sep 2026
- The Search Atlas SEO WordPress plugin before 2.6.24 does not perform a nonce or capability check before processing a settings update in one of its early-priority handlers, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to overwrite or delete the site's stored Google service-account credentials. CVE record
- CVE-2026-15252, 30 Jul 2026
- The Search Atlas SEO WordPress plugin before 2.6.12 does not perform a capability or nonce check in one of its AJAX handlers, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to invoke the site's Google Indexing API integration, submitting or removing the site's URLs from Google's index and consuming its indexing quota. CVE record
- CVE-2025-14386, 28 Jan 2026
- 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.

What to do if you run Search Atlas SEO
If you run Search Atlas SEO, open WordPress and check the installed version in Plugins. Compare it with the affected versions in the vulnerability record. If a fixed version is available, take a current backup and update to that version or the latest supported release.
If no fixed version exists, consider disabling and removing the plugin or replacing it with a maintained alternative. After dealing with the affected software, check administrator users, unexpected file changes, redirects, unfamiliar pages and security logs for signs that the site may already have been altered.
