CVE-2026-7467

The Read More & Accordion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.7. This is due to the 'RadMoreAjax::importData' function not restricting which database tables can be written to during import and not properly validating the imported data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with permission granted by the site owner through the plugin's role settings, to insert arbitrary rows into the 'wp_users' and 'wp_usermeta' tables, including the 'wp_capabilities' field, allowing them to create a new administrator account and gain administrator access to the site.

Summary		(es) El plugin Read More & Accordion para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 3.5.7, inclusive. Esto se debe a que la función 'RadMoreAjax::importData' no restringe a qué tablas de la base de datos se puede escribir durante la importación y no valida correctamente los datos importados. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con permiso otorgado por el propietario del sitio a través de la configuración de roles del plugin, inserten filas arbitrarias en las tablas 'wp_users' y 'wp_usermeta', incluyendo el campo 'wp_capabilities', lo que les permite crear una nueva cuenta de administrador y obtener acceso de administrador al sitio.
