CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe 多说社会化评论框 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to inadequate capability and nonce checks on a publicly accessible API endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to manipulate WordPress options directly. This can lead to severe consequences, such as granting unauthorized users full administrator privileges. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The 多说社会化评论框 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. The vulnerability exists due to a missing capability and nonce check on a directly web-accessible API endpoint, combined with a trivially forgeable HMAC-SHA1 signature keyed on an always-empty WordPress option, which allows the endpoint's `update_option` handler to pass attacker-controlled `option` and `value` parameters directly to WordPress's `update_option` function without any allowlist or sanitization. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary WordPress options — such as setting `default_role` to `administrator` and enabling open registration — and subsequently register an account with full administrator privileges.
