CVE-2023-1874 Description

The WP Data Access plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.3.7. This is due to a lack of authorization checks on the multiple_roles_update function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the \'wpda_role[]\' parameter during a profile update. This requires the \'Enable role management\' setting to be enabled for the site.
