WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

MCP Server for WordPress < 1.8.2 - Administrator Account Creation via CSRF

Description

The plugin does not correctly verify the WordPress REST API nonce for cookie-authenticated requests when a condition an attacker can influence is present, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform administrator-only actions, including creating a new administrator account, by tricking a logged-in administrator into visiting a crafted page.
