Description

The WatchTowerHQ plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a type juggling issue in versions up to, and including, 3.6.16. This is due to an incorrect comparison in the check_ota function between the user-supplied access token and the configured WatchTower access token. This makes it possible for unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass intended authentication restrictions via REST API.
