Which versions of WordPress are vulnerable?
WordPress 6.9 is affected by both vulnerabilities. Version 6.9.5 has been released containing fixes for both.
WordPress 6.8 is only affected by the first vulnerability. Version 6.8.6 has been released containing a fix.
The beta release of WordPress 7.1 is affected by both vulnerabilities. Version 7.1 beta2 has been released containing fixes for both.
Versions of WordPress prior to 6.8 are not affected.
Emergency temporary mitigation
If you can’t do that, Security Researchers at Searchlight Cyber suggest you can temporarily protect your instance by blocking anonymous access to the batch API by:
Installing a plugin that blocks anonymous access to the rest API entirely; or
Blocking /wp-json/batch/v1 and ?rest_route=/batch/v1 at a WAF level.
Note that both these solutions may have impact on legitimate use of the site and should only be considered emergency temporary measures until you can update.
