Vulnerability Overview

The Zephyr Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.101. This is due to the plugin not properly checking a users capabilities before allowing them to enable access to the plugin's settings through the update_user_access() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to grant themselves full access to the plugin's settings.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.3.102, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) The product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
