Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-10968 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10968/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10968/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-10968","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10968/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-10968","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mhm5-5wf9-wh5m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"The PeepSo Core plugin for WordPress allows privilege escalation via the save method in profile preferences.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"peepso","vendor":"peepso"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The peepso-core plugin before 1.6.1 for WordPress has PeepSoProfilePreferencesAjax-\u003esave() privilege escalation.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10968","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10969"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10967"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-09-16","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Community by PeepSo Plugin \u003c= 6.2.6.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-48746","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress PeepSo Core: Photos Plugin \u003c 6.3.1.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2024-22158","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-31"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Community by PeepSo Plugin \u003c= 6.2.2.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-47850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-30"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Community by PeepSo \u003c 6.3.1.2 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2024-0187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-16"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress Community by PeepSo Plugin \u003c= 6.1.6.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-39925","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress Community by PeepSo Plugin \u003c= 6.0.2.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2022-41633","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"The PeepSo Core plugin for WordPress allows privilege escalation via the save method in profile preferences.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-10968/"}
