Profitori 2.0.6.0 - 2.1.1.3 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via stocktend_object Endpoint

Improper Authorization
CVE CVE-2025-4631
CVSS Critical (9.8)

Description

The Profitori plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the stocktend_object endpoint in versions 2.0.6.0 to 2.1.1.3. This makes it possible to trigger the save_object_as_user() function for objects whose '_datatype' is set to 'users',. This allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary strings straight into the user’s wp_capabilities meta field, potentially elevating the privileges of an existing user account or a newly created one to that of an administrator.
