WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Jupiter < 6.10.2 & JupiterX Core < 2.0.8 - Subscriber+ Privilege Escalation and Post Deletion
Description
When the theme is installed, any logged-in user can elevate their privileges to an administrator by sending an AJAX request with the action parameter set to abb_uninstall_template. This calls the uninstallTemplate function, which calls the resetWordpressDatabase function, where the site is effectively reinstalled with the currently logged-in user as the new site owner.
When the plugin is installed, the same functionality can also be accessed by sending an AJAX request with the action parameter set to jupiterx_core_cp_uninstall_template.
