AI-suggested
Immediate mitigation steps include disabling the Realty Portal plugin until a patch is available. Administrators should audit user roles and permissions to ensure no unauthorized changes have occurred, especially verifying the default user role and registration settings. Restrict user registration if not required and monitor logs for suspicious activity related to option changes. Employ a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules targeting unauthorized option modifications in WordPress. Regularly back up site data and configurations to enable recovery if compromise occurs. If possible, implement least privilege principles by limiting Subscriber-level accounts and reviewing plugin usage. Stay alert for official patches or updates from nootheme and apply them promptly once released. Additionally, consider deploying security plugins that can detect unauthorized changes to WordPress options or user roles.
Description
The Realty Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'rp_save_property_settings' function in versions 0.1 to 0.4.1. 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.
