## What is CVE-2025-4631?

CVE-2025-4631 is a critical missing authorization vulnerability in unitybusinesstechnology The E-Commerce ERP: Purchasing, Inventory, Fulfillment, Manufacturing, BOM, Accounting, Sales Analysis, published on 31 May 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Profitori plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the stocktend_object endpoint in versions 2.0.6.0 to 2.1.1.3. This makes it possible to trigger the save_object_as_user() function for objects whose '_datatype' is set to 'users',. This allows unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary strings straight into the user’s wp_capabilities meta field, potentially elevating the privileges of an existing user account or a newly created one to that of an administrator.

Weakness: CWE-285 (Improper Authorization)
