CVE-2024-8102

CVSS v3.1

8.8

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.8
Description: The issue is related to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the module all toggle ajax() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site, potentially allowing them to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 3.0.8, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the module all toggle ajax() function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the WordPress site to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the affected plugin until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
