CVE-2024-12264

The PayU CommercePro Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.3. This is due to /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token and /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost REST API endpoints not properly verifying a user's identity prior to setting the users ID and auth cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create new administrative user accounts.

Summary		(es) El complemento PayU CommercePro para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 3.8.3 incluida. Esto se debe a que los endpoints de la API REST /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token y /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost no verifican correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de configurar el ID del usuario y las cookies de autenticación. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados creen nuevas cuentas de usuario administrativo.
