Simple History Track Log And Audit Wordpress Changes
Monthly
Authenticated privilege escalation to administrator in the Simple History WordPress plugin (versions through 5.26.0) allows a Subscriber-level user to read password-reset email contents logged by SimpleUserLogger and hijack admin accounts. The react/unreact event endpoints reuse a permission callback that only checks for a logged-in user, exposing full event context including reset URLs and keys. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires that an administrator previously enabled the non-default experimental features option.
