CVE-2020-11515 Information

Description

The Rank Math plugin through 1.0.40.2 for WordPress allows unauthenticated remote attackers to create new URIs (that redirect to an external web site) via the unsecured rankmath/v1/updateRedirection REST API endpoint. In other words this is not an \Open Redirect\ issue; instead it allows the attacker to create a new URI with an arbitrary name (e.g. the /exampleredirect URI).
