What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Time Tracker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'tt_update_table_function' and 'tt_delete_record_function' functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update options such as user registration and default role, allowing anyone to register as an Administrator, and to delete limited data from the database.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Time Tracker versions 3.1.0 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to access or modify data they should not have permission to view or change. An attacker with a low-privilege account can read sensitive information and alter records across the application. No user interaction is required beyond initial login.
