CVE-2024-5204
The Swiss Toolkit For WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.0.7.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.58%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The Swiss Toolkit For WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This is due to the plugin storing custom data in post metadata without an underscore prefix. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator.
