The Webo-facto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.40 due to insufficient restriction on the doSsoAuthentification function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make themselves administrators by registering with a username that contains -wfuser.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
