An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-0820 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown User Role by BestWebSoft. 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-2023-0820/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0820/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0820","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0820/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0820","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rfc7-p29x-qh35"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit CSRF to arbitrarily escalate privileges of any user role in the User Role by BestWebSoft WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"user_role","vendor":"bestwebsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The User Role by BestWebSoft WordPress plugin before 1.6.7 does not protect against CSRF in requests to update role capabilities, leading to arbitrary privilege escalation of any role.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"User Role by BestWebSoft \u003c 1.6.7 - Privilege Escalation via CSRF","id":"CVE-2023-0820","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Nomad Client Vulnerable to Decompression Bombs in Artifact Block","id":"CVE-2023-0821"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow in gpac/gpac","id":"CVE-2023-0819"},"products":["User Role by BestWebSoft"],"published":"2023-04-03","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18566","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-20"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-14","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit CSRF to arbitrarily escalate privileges of any user role in the User Role by BestWebSoft WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0820/"}
