CVE-2024-12264: Payuplugin Payu Commercepro Plugin

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The PayU CommercePro Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.3. This is due to /wp-json/payu/v1/generate-user-token and /wp-json/payu/v1/get-shipping-cost REST API endpoints not properly verifying a user's identity prior to setting the users ID and auth cookies. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create new administrative user accounts.
