CVE-2026-4314: Privilege Escalation-Lücke im WordPress Plugin "The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit"
⚠️ CVE-Referenzen:
CVE-2026-4314
Zusammenfassung
Das WordPress Plugin "The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended" ist bis einschließlich Version 3.2.4 von einer Privilege Escalation-Schwachstelle betroffen. Authentifizierte Angreifer mit Subscriber-Rechten oder höher können durch Anhängen eines präparierten Query-Parameters an eine Admin-URL administrative Rechte erlangen und so neue Administrator-Accounts erstellen.
The 'The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended' plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4. This is due to the `isDashboardOrProfileRequest()` method in the Menu Editor module using an insecure `strpos()` check against `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` to determine if a request targets the dashboard or profile page. The `grantVirtualCaps()` method, which is hooked into the `user_has_cap` filter, grants elevated capabilities including `manage_options` when this check returns true. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to gain administrative capabilities by appending a crafted query parameter to any admin URL, allowing them to update arbitrary WordPress options and ultimately create new Administrator accounts.
