Researcher Rafie Muhammad
Description

The HUSKY – Products Filter Professional for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to missing option validation on the do_import_data() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.6.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
