This is due to the `UpdateProviderCommandHandler` failing to validate changes to the `externalId` field when a Provider (Employee) user updates their own profile. The `externalId` maps directly to a WordPress user ID and is passed to `wp_set_password()` and `wp_update_user()` without authorization checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Provider-level (Employee) access and above, to take over any WordPress account \u2014 including Administrator \u2014 by injecting an arbitrary `externalId` value when updating their own provider profile."}], "lastModified": "2026-04-27T19:04:22.650", "sourceIdentifier": "security@wordfence.com"}
