{"id":"CVE-2026-120554","published":"2026-11-04T10:17:26.300","lastModified":"2026-11-04T21:17:56.763","description":"The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.11 This is due to a non-atomic multi-option write sequence in the `ACUI_Cron::save_settings()` function, which persists `acui_cron_activated`, `acui_cron_configured_by`, `acui_cron_user_id`, and `acui_cron_path_to_file` before reaching the authorization gate that calls `wp_die()` when a non-promoter submits a role. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers holding a custom delegated role with `create_users` but without `promote_users` or `edit_users` to escalate their privileges to Administrator, provided a prior administrator cron-tab save exists and no successful save intervenes before the next unattended cron tick processes the attacker's repointed CSV file.","cvssScore":8.8,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-863"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/2.5.7/classes/cron.php#L101","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/2.5.7/classes/cron.php#L166","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/2.5.7/classes/cron.php#L49","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/2.5.7/classes/import.php#L1104","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/2.5.7/classes/import.php#L909","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3775652/import-users-from-csv-with-meta","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3775652/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/trunk/classes/cron.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4db0991f-fc89-411b-b0df-1a11c9ddec1f?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
