Descriptions

Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Abdul Hakeem Build App Online allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Build App Online: from n/a through 1.0.19.

Una vulnerabilidad de gestión de privilegios incorrecta en Abdul Hakeem Build App Online permite una escalada de privilegios. Este problema afecta a Build App Online: desde n/a hasta 1.0.19.

The Build App Online plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'update_user_meta' and 'update_user_meta_value' functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.20. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to update arbitrary user meta values and grant themselves administrator privileges.
