This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against WordPress XMLRPC. A successful attack can lead to security bypass.
The mw_editPost function in wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php in the XMLRPC subsystem in WordPress before 4.3.1 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions, and arrange for a private post to be published and sticky, via unspecified vectors.
