AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Privilege escalation in WordPress Toret Manager plugin through version 1.2.7 allows authenticated subscribers to modify arbitrary site options due to missing capability checks in the trman_save_option functions. An attacker can exploit this to change the default registration role to administrator and enable user registration, granting themselves admin access to the vulnerable site. No patch is currently available.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Classified as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management). Affects Toret Manager (WordPress plugin). The Toret Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'trman_save_option' function and on the 'trman_save_option_items' in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administ

DescriptionCVE.org

The Toret Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'trman_save_option' function and on the 'trman_save_option_items' in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

WordPress sites using the Toret Manager plugin (versions up to 1.2.7) are exposed to a critical privilege escalation vulnerability that allows unauthenticated or low-privileged attackers to modify plugin settings and gain administrative access. This affects any organization relying on this plugin for site management, potentially compromising data integrity, customer trust, and regulatory compliance.

Business Impact: Severe

Compensating Controls

Disable the Toret Manager plugin entirely; restrict access to wp-admin via IP whitelisting or WAF rules blocking requests to affected plugin functions ('trman_save_option' and 'trman_save_option_items'); implement Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block suspicious POST requests targeting these functions; enforce multi-factor authentication for all administrative accounts; conduct immediate privilege audit and reset credentials for all accounts with administrative roles. Monitor for indicators of compromise including unauthorized capability changes and admin account creation. Evaluate vendor timeline for patch release before returning plugin to production.
