CVE-2026-6506
InfusedWoo Pro <= 5.1.2 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Missing Authorization to Privilege Escalation via Arbitrary User Meta Update
Description
The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to the infusedwoo_gdpr_upddata() function missing authorization and capability checks, as well as lacking restrictions on which user meta keys can be updated. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update their own wp_capabilities user meta to grant themselves Administrator role privileges.
