Search Atlas SEO < 2.6.12 - Subscriber+ Google Indexing API Access
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The Search Atlas SEO WordPress plugin before 2.6.12 does not perform a capability or nonce check in one of its AJAX handlers, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to invoke the site's Google Indexing API integration, submitting or removing the site's URLs from Google's index and consuming its indexing quota.
