CVE-2019-9787 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-9787):
  WordPress before 5.1.1 does not properly filter comment content, leading to
  Remote Code Execution by unauthenticated users in a default configuration.
  This occurs because CSRF protection is mishandled, and because Search Engine
  Optimization of A elements is performed incorrectly, leading to XSS. The XSS
  results in administrative access, which allows arbitrary changes to .php
  files. This is related to wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php and
  wp-includes/comment.php.
