What the vulnerability does
01Description
The All in One SEO – Powerful SEO Plugin to Boost SEO Rankings & Increase Traffic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the `/aioseo/v1/ai/credits` REST route in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to disclose the global AI access token.
