CVE-2018-11580 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in the MULTIDOTS Mass Pages/Posts Creator plugin 1.2.2 for WordPress, specifically within the mass-pages-posts-creator.php file. The flaw allows any logged-in user to initiate the creation of an excessive number of posts with custom content due to missing nonce and user capability checks. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.4) has a low attack complexity and requires user interaction, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition by overwhelming the site with hundreds of thousands of new posts. While there is no known active exploitation, public exploit code, or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, the vulnerability has received some community discussion and media coverage, including an article from SecurityWeek.
