Contributor Privilege Escalation in Frisbii Pay <= 1.8.2 versions.

Reported through Patchstack's audit program and tagged as both Authentication Bypass and Privilege Escalation, the flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, meaning a successful actor can effectively take administrative control of the affected WordPress site. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session at the Contributor role (or equivalent low-privilege level), per the explicit 'Contributor Privilege Escalation' description and the CVSS PR:L metric - it is not exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with high impact across all three security properties - a serious combination. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or obtains a Contributor-level account on a WordPress site running Frisbii Pay <= 1.8.2 - trivial on sites that allow self-registration as contributor. They then send a crafted authenticated request to the plugin's unprotected privileged endpoint, which performs an administrative action on their behalf, escalating their effective privileges and allowing them to take over the site. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version was identified in the provided data, so confirm the fixed release via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/reepay-checkout-gateway/vulnerability/wordpress-frisbii-pay-plugin-1-8-2-privilege-escalation-vulnerability) and upgrade the Frisbii Pay / reepay-checkout-gateway plugin to the first release above 1.8.2 once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
