CVE-2024-11323: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in kekotron AI Quiz | Quiz Maker
The AI Quiz | Quiz Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the ai_quiz_update_style() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-11323 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the AI Quiz | Quiz Maker WordPress plugin by kekotron, affecting all versions up to 1.1. The vulnerability arises because the ai_quiz_update_style() function does not perform capability checks, allowing authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber-level) to update arbitrary WordPress options. This can be exploited to change the default registration role to administrator and enable user registration, facilitating privilege escalation to full administrative control of the site. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without user interaction and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no vendor patch or advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated low-privilege user to escalate their privileges to administrator by modifying site options, including the default user role and registration settings. This results in full administrative compromise of the WordPress site, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level user access and consider disabling or removing the AI Quiz | Quiz Maker plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
