CVE-2024-12259
The CRM WordPress Plugin – RepairBuddy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.8120. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their email through the wc_update_user_data AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-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 CRM WordPress Plugin – RepairBuddy para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante la apropiación de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 3.8120 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de actualizar su correo electrónico a través de la acción AJAX wc_update_user_data. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y 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."
