CVE-2024-11103 Information

Description

The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to and including 24.0.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user’s identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user’s passwords including administrators and leverage that to gain access to their account.
