- CVE-2026-7624, 6 Jun 2026
- 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. CVE record

- The SEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the sq_ajax_uninstall function in all versions up to, and including, 12.4.14. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to disconnect the site from Squirrly's cloud service. CVE record
