FKIE_CVE-2026-12083

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-06 08:16 - Updated: 2026-07-06 18:37
Severity
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) WordPress plugin before 8.8.4, admin-site-enhancements-pro WordPress plugin before 8.8.4 does not perform authentication, authorization, or nonce checks on a role-restoration request handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to restore a previously demoted administrator account back to the administrator role. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2024-43333 / CVE-2025-24648, which closed the issue for only one of the demotion paths the WordPress role API exposes.
