FKIE_CVE-2024-12264
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-01-07 05:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 06:59
Severity
Summary
The PayU CommercePro Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.3. This is due to /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token and /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost REST API endpoints not properly verifying a user's identity prior to setting the users ID and auth cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create new administrative user accounts.

"value": "El complemento PayU CommercePro para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 3.8.3 incluida. Esto se debe a que los endpoints de la API REST /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token y /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost no verifican correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de configurar el ID del usuario y las cookies de autenticaci\u00f3n. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados creen nuevas cuentas de usuario administrativo."
