Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-07-23 03:15 - Updated: 2025-07-25 15:29
Severity ?
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
The Realty Portal – Agent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to missing authorization within the rp_user_profile() AJAX handler in versions 0.1.0 through 0.3.9. The handler reads the client-supplied meta key and value pairs from $_POST and passes them directly to update_user_meta() without restricting to a safe whitelist. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the wp_capabilities meta and grant themselves the administrator role.

Este controlador lee los pares de metaclave y valor proporcionados por el cliente desde $_POST y los pasa directamente a update_user_meta() sin restringirlos a una lista blanca segura. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con acceso de suscriptor o superior, sobrescribir el metadato wp_capabilities y otorgarse el rol de administrador."
