CVE-2024-8247

The Newsletters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.9.2. This is due to the plugin not restricting what user meta can be updated as screen options. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to escalate their privileges to that of an administrator. Please note that this only affects users with access to edit/update screen options, which means an administrator would need to grant lower privilege users with access to the Sent & Draft Emails page of the plugin in order for this to be exploited.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento Newsletters para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 4.9.9.2 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no restringe qué metadatos de usuario se pueden actualizar como opciones de pantalla. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, escalen sus privilegios a los de un administrador. Tenga en cuenta que esto solo afecta a los usuarios con acceso para editar/actualizar opciones de pantalla, lo que significa que un administrador tendría que otorgar a los usuarios con privilegios inferiores acceso a la página de correos electrónicos enviados y borradores del complemento para que esto se pueda explotar.
