CVE-2025-4631

The Profitori plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the stocktend_object endpoint in versions 2.0.6.0 to 2.1.1.3. This makes it possible to trigger the save_object_as_user() function for objects whose '_datatype' is set to 'users',. This allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary strings straight into the user’s wp_capabilities meta field, potentially elevating the privileges of an existing user account or a newly created one to that of an administrator.

Summary		(es) El complemento Profitori para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios debido a la falta de una comprobación de capacidad en el endpoint stocktend_object en las versiones 2.0.6.0 a 2.1.1.3. Esto permite activar la función save_object_as_user() para objetos cuyo `_datatype' esté configurado como `users`. Esto permite a atacantes no autenticados escribir cadenas arbitrarias directamente en el metacampo `wp_capabilities` del usuario, lo que podría elevar los privilegios de una cuenta de usuario existente o de una nueva a los de administrador.
