Title
Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Linx Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities
Summary
A security issue exists within the x86 Microsoft Installer File (MSI), installed with FTLinx. Authenticated attackers with valid Windows user credentials can initiate a repair and hijack the resulting console window. This allows the launching of a command prompt running with SYSTEM-level privileges, allowing full access to all files, processes, and system resources.

Title
Doccure Core < 1.5.4 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation
Summary
The Doccure Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and excluding, 1.5.4. This is due to the plugin allowing users who are registering new accounts to set their own role or by supplying 'user_type' field. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges by creating an account with the administrator role.

Paid Videochat Turnkey Site – HTML5 PPV Live Webcams <= 7.3.20 - Authenticated (Author+) Privilege Escalation
Summary
The Paid Videochat Turnkey Site – HTML5 PPV Live Webcams plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.20. This is due to videowhisper_register_form() function not restricting user roles that can be set during registration. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to create posts/pages with the registration form and administrator set as the role and subsequently use that form to register an administrator account. This can also be exploited by contributors, but is far less likely to be successful because an administrator would need to approve the form with the administrator role for the attack to be successful.

Truelysell Core <= 1.8.7 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Registration
Summary
The Truelysell Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions less than, or equal to, 1.8.7. This is due to insufficient validation of the user_role parameter during user registration. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create accounts with elevated privileges, including administrator access.

Title
Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme <= 3.5 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation to Administrator via 'change_role_member'
Summary
The Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via the 'change_role_member' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5. This is due to a lack of restriction in the profile update role. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily choose their role, including the Administrator role, during a profile update.
Severity

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design
Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse
An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.
CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation
An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.
CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation
An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
