CVE-2026-96524 Details
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.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the MCP Server for WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 1.8.2. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly validate the WordPress REST API nonce for cookie-authenticated requests under certain conditions that an attacker can manipulate. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to execute administrator-only tasks, such as creating a new administrator account, by deceiving a logged-in administrator into visiting a specially crafted page.
