CVE-2026-0912: CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management in toret Toret Manager
The Toret Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'trman_save_option' function and on the 'trman_save_option_items' in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. 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-2026-0912 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Toret Manager plugin for WordPress, caused by improper privilege management (CWE-269). The vulnerability arises from missing capability checks in the 'trman_save_option' and 'trman_save_option_items' functions in all versions up to 1.2.7. Authenticated users with minimal privileges (Subscriber-level) can exploit this to update arbitrary options, such as setting the default registration role to administrator and enabling user registration, thereby escalating their privileges to full administrative control.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated low-privilege user to escalate their privileges to administrator by modifying WordPress options. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected site, as attackers can gain full administrative control, potentially leading to site takeover, data manipulation, or disruption.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles to trusted individuals only and consider disabling or removing the Toret Manager plugin if not essential. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
