CriticalCVSS 9.8 · v3.1—Weaponized Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 60/100)

A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
A ready-made attack tool exists and the flaw can be exploited over the network without an account, so priority is at least “This week”.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 87.7% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
Fixed version: PageLines Platform 1.4.4.
Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to PageLines Platform 1.4.4 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The Platform theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the *_ajax_save_options() function in all versions up to 1.4.4 (exclusive). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.
