WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Sunshine Photo Cart < 3.4.12 - Subscriber Privilege Escalation

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover due to the plugin not properly validating a user-supplied key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's passwords through the password reset functionality, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account.

Fixed in 3.4.12
