The plugin chains three independent flaws that together allow an authenticated Agent (Agent+) to overwrite a WordPress Administrator's password without ever invoking an Administrator-only API. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Agent access and above, to elevate their privileges to Administrator.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/controllers/customer_cabinet_controller.php#L415","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/controllers/customer_cabinet_controller.php#L491","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/controllers/customers_controller.php#L342","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/helpers/customer_helper.php#L253","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/latepoint/tags/5.5.0/lib/models/customer_model.php#L322"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:39:28.638635428+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-8176","score":0.00472,"percentile":0.40812,"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).
