The Groundhogg \u2014 CRM, Newsletters, and Marketing Automation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Contact Identity Rebinding in all versions up to, and including, 4.9 The vulnerability exists because the `create_contact` function in the v3 REST endpoint (`POST \/gh\/v3\/contacts`) is gated solely by the `add_contacts` capability and forwards the full request payload \u2014 including the security-bearing `user_id` column \u2014 into the upsert path of `Contacts_DB::add()`, which bypasses the ownership guard that `Contacts_DB::update()` enforces, allowing an attacker to rebind any existing contact record to an arbitrary WordPress user ID. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Sales Representative-level access and above to upsert their own contact row to point to an Administrator’s user ID, then invoke the v4 email-test endpoint (`POST \/gh\/v4\/emails\/test`) \u2014 also accessible to the Sales Representative role via the `send_emails` capability \u2014 to generate an `{auto_login_url}` one-time permissions key bound to the rebound contact, and consume that link to call `wp_set_auth_cookie()` and gain a fully authenticated session as the WordPress Administrator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
