WebARX SecurityStrategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The wpCentral for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.4.7 due to missing authorization checks and validation on the wpc_fetch_authkey() and my_wpc_signon() functions. This makes it possible for authenticated users, with low-level privileges such as a subscriber, to log in as a site administrator.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.4.8, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
