What fixes it

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

Description

The All in One SEO WordPress plugin before 5.0.2.1 does not correctly determine which shortcodes are present in content derived from user input before deciding which ones to strip, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered on the site. On sites upgraded from older versions the protection is disabled outright, making the issue reachable without any crafted input.
