This could potentially lead to the compromise of administrative accounts and unauthorized modifications to the WordPress installation (WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no known fix available for this vulnerability in the WordPress连接微博 plugin. Users are advised to consider removing or disabling the plugin until a security patch is released (WPScan).
