The Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery WordPress plugin before 2.6.60 exposes an unauthenticated REST endpoint that allows any remote user to modify the option datalogics_token without verification. This token is subsequently used for authentication in a protected endpoint that allows users to perform arbitrary WordPress update_option() operations. Attackers can use this to enable registartion and to set the default role as Administrator.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
