Description

The RankMath SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion via the 'update_schemas' and 'get_snippet_content' functions. This allows authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls or obtain sensitive data.
