CVE-2024-10008 Information

Description

The Masteriyo LMS – eLearning and Online Course Builder for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized user profile modification due to missing authorization checks on the /wp-json/masteriyo/v1/users/$id REST API endpoint in all versions up to and including 1.13.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with student-level access and above to modify the roles of arbitrary users. As a result attackers can escalate their privileges to the Administrator and demote existing administrators to students.
