CVE-2023-3636
The WP Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.6.4 due to insufficient restriction on the 'save_users_map_name' function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.86%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The WP Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.6.4 due to insufficient restriction on the 'save_users_map_name' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the 'usernames' parameter.
