Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover in InfusedWoo Pro WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-08-25

Last updated on: 2026-08-25

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.17. This is due to a missing capability check in the `ajax_iwar_preview_email()` function, which uses `is_admin()` as its only authorization check and allows low-privilege users to render email preview merge fields for an arbitrary email address. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to generate and retrieve a valid password reset link for any WordPress user, including administrators, enabling account takeover.

Executive Summary

The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows attackers to take over user accounts. This happens because a function called ajax_iwar_preview_email() does not properly check user permissions. It only verifies if the user is in the admin panel, not if they have the right to perform actions. Attackers with subscriber-level access or higher can use this flaw to generate password reset links for any WordPress user, including administrators, and then take over those accounts.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if the InfusedWoo Pro plugin version is 5.1.17 or lower. Inspect WordPress admin AJAX calls for unauthorized password reset link generation by low-privilege users. Review server logs for suspicious activity targeting the ajax_iwar_preview_email() function.

Impact Analysis

If you use the InfusedWoo Pro plugin, attackers could gain control of your WordPress site by taking over administrator accounts. This could lead to unauthorized changes, data theft, or further attacks on your site or users. Even with low-level access, attackers can escalate privileges and cause significant damage.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive user data, which may violate GDPR or HIPAA compliance. If attackers gain access to personal or health information, it could result in data breaches, legal penalties, and reputational damage for organizations handling such data.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the InfusedWoo Pro plugin to the latest version immediately to apply security hardening measures including enhanced authorization checks and stricter validation on vulnerable endpoints.
