This is due to the plugin not properly restricting what user meta values can be updated and ensuring a form is active. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update their user meta to become an administrator.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-266"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/post-grid/trunk/includes/blocks/form-wrap/functions.php#L3032","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3130155/post-grid/tags/2.2.87/includes/blocks/form-wrap/functions.php","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3146752/post-grid/tags/2.2.91/includes/blocks/form-wrap/functions.php","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/f5f18cae-b7f8-4afd-adfa-c616c63f9419?source=cve"],"products":["pickplugins:post_grid"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:54:38.012257375+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-8253","score":0.09372,"percentile":0.95398,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
