Descriptions

The WooCommerce Point of Sale plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.0. This is due to insufficient validation on the 'logged_in_user_id' value when option values are empty and the ability for attackers to change the email of arbitrary user accounts. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the email of arbitrary user accounts, including administrators, and reset their password to gain access to the account.

El complemento WooCommerce Point of Sale para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 6.1.0 incluida. Esto se debe a una validación insuficiente del valor 'logged_in_user_id' cuando los valores de las opciones están vacíos y a la capacidad de los atacantes de cambiar el correo electrónico de cuentas de usuario arbitrarias. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados cambien el correo electrónico de cuentas de usuario arbitrarias, incluidos los administradores, y restablezcan su contraseña para obtener acceso a la cuenta.
