CVE-2024-43121Network attack vector

Shop Manager-to-Administrator escalation via arbitrary option update

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Improper privilege management in RealMag777 HUSKY 1.3.6.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to gain Administrator access. The do_import_data() function accepts imported option data without restricting option names, allowing Shop Managers to alter arbitrary WordPress options. Shop Manager-level access suffices to enable registration and set the default role for new users to Administrator.
