CVE-2022-0701 describes a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the SEO 301 Meta WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.9.1. This flaw stems from a lack of escaping in the plugin's Request and Destination settings, allowing high-privilege users like administrators to inject malicious scripts even when unfiltered_html is disabled. Rated as Medium severity (CVSS 4.8), the vulnerability requires high privileges and user interaction for exploitation, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
