Upgrade Debian:unstable wordpress to version 5.8.1+dfsg1-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wordpress package and not the wordpress package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
WordPress before 5.8 lacks support for the Update URI plugin header. This makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a supply-chain attack against WordPress installations that use any plugin for which the slug satisfies the naming constraints of the WordPress.org Plugin Directory but is not yet present in that directory.
