CVE-2026-6506
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() function missing authorization and capability checks, as well as lacking restrictions on which user meta keys can be updated. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update their own wp_capabilities user meta to grant themselves Administrator role privileges.

"value": "El plugin InfusedWoo Pro para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 5.1.2, inclusive. Esto se debe a que la función infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() carece de comprobaciones de autorización y capacidad, así como a la falta de restricciones sobre qué claves meta de usuario pueden actualizarse. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, actualizar su propia meta de usuario wp_capabilities para otorgarse a sí mismos privilegios de rol de Administrador."
