Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress versions 4.7.0 through 4.7.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to modify arbitrary pages. This is achieved by exploiting the register routes function in the REST API, which does not require an integer identifier. Attackers can send a request for wp-json/wp/v2/posts followed by a numeric value and a non-numeric value. For example, the wp-json/wp/v2/posts/123?id=123helloworld URI can be used for this purpose.

Recommendations For WordPress versions 4.7.0 through 4.7.1, update to version 4.7.2 or later to resolve the issue.
