What is CVE-2023-4293?

The Premium Packages - Sell Digital Products Securely plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a privilege escalation issue. This vulnerability arises from insufficient checks within the 'wpdmpp_update_profile' function. Authenticated users, even those with minimal permissions like subscribers, can exploit this vulnerability to alter their own user roles by sending a manipulated 'profile[role]' parameter during a profile update process. This could allow unauthorized elevation of privileges, leading to significant risks for the website.
