A Vulnerability Chain in WordPress Core Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

Publisher excerpt From CIS Advisories

A vulnerability chain has been discovered in WordPress Core that could allow for remote code execution. WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) used to design, build, and publish personal and commercial websites. Successful exploitation of vulnerability chain could allow for remote code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Services whose accounts are configured to have less rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
