What the vulnerability does
01Description
The WP Business Intelligence Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify stored SQL queries, which can lead to privilege escalation via arbitrary SQL execution when the modified query is viewed by an administrator.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
WP Business Intelligence Lite versions 3.2.0 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to perform actions they should not have permission to access. An attacker with a low-privilege account can read sensitive data, modify site content, or disrupt service by clicking a malicious link. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 3.2.0 immediately.
