Description
The Userplace WordPress plugin through 1.2.0 does not perform authorization checks on an AJAX action available to unauthenticated users and publicly exposes the nonce that protects it, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create an administrator account or write arbitrary site options, leading to full site takeover.
