Last modified
CVE-2025-5117 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Property plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the use of the property_package_user_role metadata in versions 1.0.5 to 1.0.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author‐level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator by creating a package post whose property_package_user_role is set to administrator and then submitting the PayPal registration form.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
