Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Martino Spagnuolo.
The CubeWP – All-in-One Dynamic Content Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.24. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting user meta key updates through the cwp_save_user_fields() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.
