Nexter Extension Security Performance Code Snippets Site Toolkit

Privilege escalation in the Nexter Extension WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 4.7.11) allows an authenticated Subscriber-level or higher user to restore a stale stored Administrator role onto their own account, effectively becoming an Administrator. Exploitation is tightly constrained: the attacker's account must previously have held the Administrator role, must have used the plugin's View Admin Role Switcher, and must have been demoted specifically through the wp-admin/users.php?action=promote bulk role-change control rather than the Edit User screen. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, and the assessed conditions are why the effective risk is lower than the 7.5 (HIGH) base score implies.
