CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Wpify Woo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation, allowing authenticated attackers with Shop Manager-level access to elevate their privileges to Administrator. This vulnerability arises from the inadequate validation of request parameters in the SettingsApi::save_option() REST route, enabling attackers to overwrite critical WordPress options. WordPress site administrators and security teams should prioritize patching this vulnerability to prevent unauthorized access and potential compromise of their sites.
Original NVD Description
The Wpify Woo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.4.16. This is due to the SettingsApi::save_option() REST route (POST /wp-json/wpify-woo/v1/option) passing the request-supplied 'option' and 'data' parameters directly to update_option() without any option-name allowlist or value sanitization, while the permission_callback only verifies the manage_woocommerce capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to Administrator by overwriting arbitrary WordPress options (for example setting default_role to administrator and users_can_register to 1, or disabling security plugins via active_plugins).
