What the vulnerability does

01Description

The SEO LAT Auto Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to file overwrite due to a missing capability check on the remote_update AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the seo-beginner-auto-post.php file which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution.
