Descriptions

WordPress before 4.5.3 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and remove a category attribute from a post via unspecified vectors.

WordPress en versiones anteriores a 4.5.3 permite a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones destinadas al acceso y eliminar un atributo de categoría desde un post a través de vectores no especificados.
