CVE-2024-9637 Information

Description

The School Management System – WPSchoolPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to and including 2.2.10. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user’s identity prior to updating their details like email. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with teacher-level access and above to change arbitrary user’s email addresses including administrators and leverage that to reset the user’s password and gain access to their account.
