CVE-2026-15015 Details
Description
The MountDev AI MCP Connector for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtain an administrator-bound OAuth Bearer token via a self-registered client, granting full administrator-equivalent access to the plugin's MCP tool surface and all exposed WordPress content, users, and options. This is exploitable by combining the publicly accessible Dynamic Client Registration endpoint, which allows unauthenticated callers to register arbitrary OAuth clients with an attacker-controlled redirect_uri, with the unprotected authorization endpoint to complete the full OAuth flow without any administrator interaction.
A vulnerability exists in the MountDev AI MCP Connector for WordPress, specifically in versions through 1.6.1. The issue stems from the plugin's failure to properly verify user authorization, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exploit this weakness. By registering a client through the Dynamic Client Registration endpoint, attackers can obtain an OAuth Bearer token associated with an administrator. This token provides equivalent access to the plugin's MCP tools and all WordPress content, users, and options. The vulnerability can be reproduced by combining the unprotected authorization endpoint with the Dynamic Client Registration endpoint, completing the OAuth flow without any administrator involvement.
Users are advised to update the MountDev AI MCP Connector for WordPress to version 1.6.2 or a newer patched version.
