An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-77786 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Rank Math SEO. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77786/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77786/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-77786","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77786/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-77786","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qc24-rpm8-fvr8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Editors can modify site-wide core WordPress settings via the Rank Math SEO plugin due to missing capability checks, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"The Rank Math SEO  WordPress plugin before 1.0.277 does not check that the user requesting an automated SEO fix holds the capability WordPress itself requires for the settings being changed, allowing users with the Editor role to modify site-wide core WordPress settings that are reserved to administrators.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Rank Math SEO \u003c 1.0.277 - Editor+ Core Settings Modification via fix-site-seo Ability","id":"CVE-2026-77786","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Rank Math SEO \u003c 1.0.277 - Author+ Term Metadata Update and Cross-Object Post Title Overwrite via updateMetaBulk","id":"CVE-2026-77787"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Rank Math SEO \u003c 1.0.277 - Author+ Non-Public Post Content Disclosure via Abilities API","id":"CVE-2026-77785"},"products":["Rank Math SEO"],"published":"2026-08-29","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-30","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Editors can modify site-wide core WordPress settings via the Rank Math SEO plugin due to missing capability checks, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-77786/"}
