iubenda <= 3.3.2 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation

Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2022-3911
CVSS High (8.8)
Publicly Published December 12, 2022
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Krzysztof Zając
Description

The ubenda plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 3.3.2. This is due to missing verification in the 'process_actions' and 'ajax_save_options' functions (among numerous others). This makes it possible for subscriber-level attackers to perform ajax actions (such as updating plugin options) that are normally only available to higher-level authenticated users. This can include granting new privileges to ones own account.
