CVE-2022-0952 Information

Description

The Sitemap by click5 WordPress plugin before 1.0.36 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks when updating options via a REST endpoint and does not ensure that the option to be updated belongs to the plugin. As a result unauthenticated attackers could change arbitrary blog options such as the users_can_register and default_role allowing them to create a new admin account and take over the blog.
