Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in WordPress, which could be exploited by malicious users to bypass security restrictions or conduct SQL injection attacks.
The first issue is due to an input validation error in the "xmlrpc.php" script that does not validate user-supplied arguments before being used in SQL statements, which could be exploited by malicious users to execute arbitrary SQL queries.
The second issue is due to an access validation error in the "xmlrpc.php" script that does not validate user permissions, which could be exploited by malicious users with contributor privileges and without "publish_posts" permissions to publish certain posts.
