CVE-2024-7624: Zephyr Project Manager <= 3.3.101 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Limited Privilege Escalation
First published: Thu Aug 15 2024(Updated: )
The Zephyr Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.101. This is due to the plugin not properly checking a users capabilities before allowing them to enable access to the plugin's settings through the update_user_access() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to grant themselves full access to the plugin's settings.
