Exploitation Conditions

The target site must have InfusedWoo Pro ≤5.1.2 installed and active, and the attacker must hold a valid authenticated session at subscriber level or higher (CVSS PR:L) - meaning open user registration or any existing low-privilege account is sufficient. Exploitation specifically requires reaching the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() endpoint and supplying a user_meta key/value pair that writes wp_capabilities. Limiting factors: sites with self-registration disabled and no compromised low-privilege accounts cannot be exploited remotely; no user interaction from an admin is needed (UI:N); the attack works against default plugin configurations since the missing authorization is in the handler itself, not gated by an opt-in setting.

Impact

Signals are mixed but lean toward serious-but-not-urgent. The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 8.8 and matches the description: network-reachable, low complexity, requires only low (subscriber) privileges, no user interaction, total CIA impact on the WordPress instance. SSVC reinforces this with Technical Impact = total but Exploitation = none and Automatable = no, which is consistent with the very low EPSS (0.04%, 11th percentile) and the absence of KEV listing or public PoC. The realistic priority hinges on deployment posture: sites that allow open subscriber registration (typical for WooCommerce storefronts) should treat this as high priority because the PR:L barrier is trivially satisfied; sites that disable self-registration face materially lower exposure. No conflicting data was observed between CVSS and the description.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers (or uses) a subscriber account on a WordPress site running InfusedWoo Pro ≤5.1.2, then sends an authenticated request to the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() handler with a crafted payload that sets the wp_capabilities user meta to {"administrator":true}. On the next page load the account is treated as an administrator, enabling plugin/theme upload and full site takeover. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the bug class is well-understood and trivially reproducible once the handler signature is known.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026

Privilege escalation in the InfusedWoo Pro WordPress plugin (versions through 5.1.2) allows authenticated subscriber-level users to elevate themselves to Administrator by abusing the unprotected infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() function to overwrite their wp_capabilities user meta. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is very low (0.04%), and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the technical impact is total once the simple authentication prerequisite is met.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is independently confirmed in the available data, so the primary action is to monitor the vendor (https://woo.infusedaddons.com/) and the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/6363b693-91b8-41cb-b13a-df6fdf9402c5?source=cve) for a release above 5.1.2 and upgrade as soon as it appears. Until then, deactivate the InfusedWoo Pro plugin if its GDPR data-update functionality is not in active use (trade-off: loss of GDPR self-service features); if it must remain enabled, disable open user registration (Settings → General → uncheck "Anyone can register") to remove the subscriber-level prerequisite, restrict access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php for the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata action via a WAF rule or mu-plugin shim that enforces current_user_can('manage_options'), and audit existing users for unexpected administrator role assignments and recent wp_usermeta changes to meta_key='wp_capabilities'. Note that WAF action-name filtering can be brittle if the vendor renames the handler in a fix release, so revisit rules after upgrading.

Technical ContextAI · show details

InfusedWoo Pro is a commercial WordPress/WooCommerce add-on from Infused Addons (CPE cpe:2.3:a:infused_addons:infusedwoo_pro). The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the AJAX/handler endpoint infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() - ostensibly a GDPR data update helper - neither verifies the caller's capability (e.g., current_user_can()) nor restricts which user_meta keys may be written. In WordPress, the wp_capabilities user meta is the canonical store of a user's role assignments, so any code path that lets an arbitrary authenticated user write to arbitrary meta keys collapses the entire role/capability model.

DescriptionCVE.org

The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() function missing authorization and capability checks, as well as lacking restrictions on which user meta keys can be updated. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update their own wp_capabilities user meta to grant themselves Administrator role privileges.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

InfusedWoo Pro WordPress plugin versions through 5.1.2 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing any authenticated subscriber to gain full administrative control over WordPress installations. Organizations relying on this plugin face immediate risk of unauthorized administrative access and complete site compromise without action to disable or restrict the plugin.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Immediately disable InfusedWoo Pro plugin; (2) Restrict subscriber role assignment to authorized users only; (3) Enable audit logging for user role changes; (4) Monitor for unexpected WordPress administrator account creation; (5) If plugin must remain active, implement web application firewall rules to block requests to the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() function.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
