Technical details
A privilege escalation flaw in SureCart versions 4.7.2 and earlier allows authenticated users with the Shop Worker role to elevate privileges to administrator. The vulnerability stems from insufficient access control checks in the user role handling logic. An attacker with Shop Worker credentials can exploit this to gain full WordPress administrative access without requiring network access beyond the application itself.
