Summary

The Nexcess GiveWP plugin for WordPress through 4.17.0 has an incorrect privilege assignment flaw (CWE-266) that lets users receive more privileges than they should. An unauthenticated remote attacker can escalate privileges on an affected site, although the attack is hard to carry out. The attack needs no user interaction, and the CVSS vector rates the impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability as high.
