CVE-2024-9637
The School Management System – WPSchoolPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.10. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like email. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with teacher-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.

"value": "El complemento School Management System – WPSchoolPress para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante la apropiación de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 2.2.10 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de actualizar sus datos, como el correo electrónico. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel docente o superior, cambien las direcciones de correo electrónico de usuarios arbitrarios, incluidos los administradores, y aprovechen eso para restablecer la contraseña del usuario y obtener acceso a su cuenta."
