Incorrect Privilege Assignment
CVE CVE-2020-36666
CVSS 8.8 (High)
Publicly Published March 6, 2023
Last Updated March 15, 2023
Researcher Omar Badran

Description

Multiple plugins by the vendor E-plugins are vulnerable to privilege escalation due to insufficient restriction on several functions called via AJAX actions that set a user's role based on supplied role information. This makes it possible authenticated, subscriber-level and above attackers to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.
