CVE-2024-13835
The Post Meta Data Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to multisite privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying the existence of a multisite installation prior to allowing user meta to be added/modified. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to gain elevated privileges on subsites that would otherwise be inaccessible.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

"value": "El complemento Post Meta Data Manager para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en sitios múltiples en todas las versiones hasta la 1.4.3 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no verifica correctamente la existencia de una instalación en sitios múltiples antes de permitir que se agreguen o modifiquen los metadatos de los usuarios. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de administrador o superior, obtengan privilegios elevados en subsitios que de otro modo serían inaccesibles."
