What to do about this

Patch on your next cycle Worth fixing, but not ahead of other work.

Fix it

That is the complete fix. Everything below is what protects you in the meantime.

Cannot update today? Restrict REST API in Hack Halt Pro blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Require authentication for REST namespaces that do not need to be public, so the API cannot be used to enumerate content and accounts.
