CVE-2024-12822

Description

The Media Manager for UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the add_capto_img() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.11.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.

Vendor	userproplugin
Product	media_manager
Affected Versions	through 3.11.0
CWE ID	CWE-862

Mitigation

Apply the latest security patches from the vendor, restrict network exposure where applicable, and monitor for exploitation attempts.
