Vulnerability Overview

The PowerPack for Beaver Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.33.0. This is due to plugin not properly restricting who can set roles on the user registration form. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create user accounts that have administrative level permissions.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.33.1, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment) A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
