Published on: Oct 26, 2024
Research Description: The School Management System – WPSchoolPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.10. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like email.

Affected versions: max 2.2.11.
