Technical details
The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to and including 5.1.2. The vulnerability exists within the 'infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata()' function, which fails to implement proper authorization and capability checks. Furthermore, the function does not restrict which user meta keys can be modified. An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level permissions can exploit this by updating their own 'wp_capabilities' user meta key to assign themselves the Administrator role. This is a network-based attack requiring low privileges and no user interaction.
