Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Jakub Herman.
The SureCart – Ecommerce Made Easy For Selling Physical Products, Digital Downloads, Subscriptions, Donations, & Payments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to 4.6.3 (exclusive). This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
