WordPress Vulnerabilities
WP < 7.1.3 - Action Injection via Post Status Transition Dynamic Hooks
Description
WordPress does not restrict some dynamically generated action hook names to registered post statuses and types during a status transition in some cases, which could allow an attacker who can introduce a post with attacker-controlled status or type through a separate vulnerability to trigger unintended action callbacks.
