Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Real Estate Manager plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.7.1

Description The issue is related to privilege escalation due to insufficient restriction on the rem save profile front function. This allows authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the wp capabilities parameter during a profile update.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 6.7.1, consider disabling the rem save profile front function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to profile updates to minimize the risk of attackers modifying their user roles. Avoid using the wp capabilities parameter in profile updates until the issue is resolved.
