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.

Cross-site request forgery in the MCP Server for WordPress plugin (all versions before 1.8.2) allows unauthenticated attackers to perform administrator-only actions - including creating a brand-new administrator account - by tricking a logged-in WordPress administrator into visiting a crafted page. The plugin fails to correctly verify the WordPress REST API nonce for cookie-authenticated requests when an attacker-influenceable condition is present, so the victim's admin session is abused without any credential from the attacker (CVSS 3.1: 8.8, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, CWE-352). …
