Published Mar 22, 2026 · updated Jun 17, 2026
The 'The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended' plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4. This is due to the method in the Menu Editor module using an insecure check against to determine if a request targets the dashboard or profile page. The method, which is hooked into the filter, grants elevated capabilities including when this check returns true. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to gain administrative capabilities by appending a crafted query parameter to any admin URL, allowing them to update arbitrary WordPress options and ultimately create new Administrator accounts.
