CVE-2023-1874 (GCVE-0-2023-1874)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-12 13:30 – Updated: 2025-02-13 16:39
VLAI?
Summary
The WP Data Access plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.3.7. This is due to a lack of authorization checks on the multiple_roles_update function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the 'wpda_role[]' parameter during a profile update. This requires the 'Enable role management' setting to be enabled for the site.
Severity ?
7.5 (High)
