Descriptions

The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 24.0.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.

El complemento Contest Gallery para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios mediante la apropiación de cuentas en todas las versiones hasta la 24.0.7 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de actualizar su contraseña. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados cambien las contraseñas de usuarios arbitrarios, incluidos los administradores, y aprovechen esa posibilidad para obtener acceso a su cuenta.
