Descriptions

The Altair theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check within functions.php in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.

El tema Altair para WordPress es vulnerable a la modificación no autorizada de datos, lo que puede provocar una escalada de privilegios debido a la falta de una comprobación de capacidad en functions.php en todas las versiones hasta la 5.2.4 incluida. Esto permite a atacantes no autenticados actualizar opciones arbitrarias en el sitio de WordPress. Esto puede aprovecharse para actualizar el rol predeterminado de registro a administrador y habilitar el registro de usuarios para que los atacantes obtengan acceso administrativo a un sitio vulnerable.
