Summary

An attacker who can obtain or replay a valid signed management request can install and execute arbitrary code (remote code execution).

Risk Assessment

Risk of complete WordPress site takeover via remote code execution. An attacker can gain full control over the site and its data.

Recommendation

Update the wpmudev-updates plugin to version 5.0.1 or later. Restrict access to the remote management interface and monitor logs for unusual requests.
