CVE-2024-10783
The MainWP Child – Securely Connects to the MainWP Dashboard to Manage Multiple Sites plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing authorization checks on the register_site function in all versions up to, and including, 5.2 when a site is left in an unconfigured state. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as an administrator on instances where MainWP Child is not yet connected to the MainWP Dashboard.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
IMPORTANT: this only affects sites who have MainWP Child installed and have not yet connected to the MainWP Dashboard, and do not have the unique security ID feature enabled. Sites already connected to the MainWP Dashboard plugin and do not have the unique security ID feature enabled, are NOT affected and not required to upgrade. Please note versions up to 5.3.3 contained a patch, though a bypass was discovered and not addressed until version 5.3.4.

"value": "El complemento MainWP Child – Securely Connects to the MainWP Dashboard to Manage Multiple Sites para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios debido a la falta de comprobaciones de autorización en la función register_site en todas las versiones hasta la 5.2 incluida cuando un sitio se deja en un estado no configurado. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inicien sesión como administradores en instancias en las que MainWP Child aún no está conectado al Panel de control de MainWP. IMPORTANTE: esto solo afecta a los sitios que tienen MainWP Child instalado y aún no se han conectado al Panel de control de MainWP, y no tienen habilitada la función de ID de seguridad única. Los sitios que ya están conectados al complemento MainWP Dashboard y no tienen habilitada la función de ID de seguridad única NO se ven afectados y no es necesario actualizarlos. Tenga en cuenta que la versión 5.2.1 contiene un parche parcial, aunque consideramos que la versión 5.3 es el parche completo."
