Until a fix is available, restrict user roles to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to the affected AJAX action. Avoid granting Subscriber or higher privileges to untrusted users.

Description

The Masterstudy - Education WordPress Theme contains a missing authorization vulnerability in all versions up to 4.8.151. This flaw allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to escalate their privileges to Administrator by exploiting an AJAX action lacking proper authorization and nonce validation. The vulnerability enables attackers to set a transient token and use an auto-login flow to gain administrator session cookies.
