CVE-2024-49675Network attack vector

Subscriber-to-Administrator escalation via unchecked account switching

Published Oct 23, 2024 · Updated May 12, 2026

Missing authorization in Vitalii Bryl iBryl Switch User 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to take over other accounts. The account-switching path changes the active WordPress identity without properly verifying that the requester may switch to the target user. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to assume an Administrator account and obtain its WordPress privileges.
