Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The MStore API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.1.5. This is due to unrestricted access to the 'register' and 'update_user_profile' routes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create new administrator accounts, delete existing administrator accounts, or escalate privileges on any account.
