Until an official fix is released, restrict plugin usage to trusted users only or consider disabling the Social Streams plugin. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available. Avoid granting Subscriber-level access to untrusted users as a temporary risk reduction measure.

Description

The Social Streams plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their user meta information in the update_user_meta() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change their user type to that of an administrator.
