DescriptionCVE.org

The MCP Server for WordPress WordPress plugin before 1.8.2 does not perform an ownership or sufficient capability check on its workflow create, update and delete REST routes, allowing users with the Contributor role to modify, delete and create site-wide workflow configuration, including workflows created by administrators.

AnalysisAI

The MCP Server for WordPress plugin before 1.8.2 exposes workflow create, update, and delete REST routes that fail to enforce ownership or sufficient capability checks, allowing an authenticated Contributor-level user to create, modify, or delete site-wide workflow configuration, including workflows originally created by administrators. Attackers need valid low-privilege WordPress credentials but no user interaction and no special configuration beyond an active plugin, making this an integrity-only authorization bypass with no confidentiality or availability impact; publicly available exploit code exists and proof-of-concept details are referenced in the WPScan advisory. …
