Analysis

Esta vulnerabilidad en el núcleo de WordPress permite realizar inyección SQL a través del parámetro author__not_in en WP_Query y está siendo explotada activamente. Al combinarse con otros fallos, permite a un atacante no autenticado ejecutar código de forma remota (RCE) en instalaciones vulnerables. Es fundamental actualizar de inmediato a las versiones 6.8.6, 6.9.5 o 7.0.2 para evitar el compromiso total del servidor.
