What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Realty Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'rp_save_property_settings' function in versions 0.1 to 0.4.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
Realty Portal versions 0.1 through 0.4.1 lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to read, modify, or delete data they should not have access to. An attacker with a low-privilege account can escalate their capabilities to perform actions reserved for administrators or other users. This affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of site data.
What an attacker can do
03Attacker Capabilities
Read, modify, or delete data belonging to other users or the site without proper permission.
Potential impact on your site
04Site Impact
User data and site content can be compromised by any authenticated user, even those with minimal permissions.
