CVE-2026-85681: WP Component lets unauthenticated callers overwrite site options

WP Component through 2.2.4 exposes an unauthenticated action with no capability or nonce check and accepts both the WordPress option name and value from the request. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary options; on a single-site installation, enabling registration and setting the default role to administrator leads to full takeover. The authoritative export does not name the action or parameters.
