Application: Social Streams
Date: Jul 23, 2025
Research Description: The Social Streams plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change their user type to that of an administrator.
Affected versions: Min -, max -.
Status: vulnerable
