Safe version
1.10.1
Published
Sep 12, 2026
Weakness
CWE-200 — Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

This CVE was published Sep 12, 2026 and is one of 1 known issue for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update SureRank SEO to 1.10.1 or later. The authoritative affected range ends before 1.10.1. Until updated, disable the affected structured-data output. The application-level fix must omit private account email fields unless a user has explicitly selected a public contact address.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Technical description

The SureRank SEO WordPress plugin before 1.10.1 does not exclude users' registered account email addresses from the structured data it outputs on public pages by default, allowing unauthenticated visitors to obtain the email address of any user who has published content.
