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 MCP Server for WordPress WordPress plugin before 1.8.2 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.
