CVE-2024-12264 Information

Description

The PayU CommercePro Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to and including 3.8.3. This is due to /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token and /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost REST API endpoints not properly verifying a user’s identity prior to setting the users ID and auth cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create new administrative user accounts.
