What is CVE-2024-6482?

The Login with Phone Number plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to escalate their privileges. This vulnerability stems from insufficient validation and a missing capability check within the 'lwp_update_password_action' function. As a result, an attacker could modify their user role to any level, including that of Administrator. Although measures were implemented to mitigate this flaw in version 1.7.40, users of versions up to and including 1.7.49 remain at risk if the 'Login with Phone Number Pro' plugin is activated.
