Until an official fix is released, restrict user roles to trusted individuals only and monitor for suspicious privilege changes. Avoid granting unnecessary permissions to low-privilege users. Follow updates from the Ecwid by Lightspeed vendor for any forthcoming patches or official mitigations.
Description
The Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.7. This is due to a missing capability check in the 'save_custom_user_profile_fields' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to supply the 'ec_store_admin_access' parameter during a profile update and gain store manager access to the site.
