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.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wp_project_manager | Wedevs | * | 2.6.5 (excluding) |
