How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable wordpress to version 3.5.2+dfsg-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 3.5.2 does not properly check the capabilities of roles, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended restrictions on publishing and authorship reassignment via unspecified vectors.
