Official description

The WP Data Access WordPress plugin before 5.5.77 does not correctly check authorization on one of its application REST endpoints, verifying only read permission before performing a write, which allows unauthenticated attackers to modify data in an application exposed for anonymous read access even when update actions have been disabled by the administrator.
