The ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon – All in One WooCommerce Solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.4. This is due to the rum_importer() function being registered on the WordPress core import_start action hook with no plugin-owned capability check and no allowlist filtering, causing arbitrary ` name/value pairs parsed from an attacker-supplied WXR import file to be passed directly to update_option(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to write arbitrary WordPress options — most critically setting users_can_register to 1 and default_role to administrator — enabling open self-registration of Administrator accounts and full site takeover. This is exploitable by Shop Manager-level users because WooCommerce grants that role the import capability, allowing it to reach the WordPress Importer flow that fires the import_start hook on which rum_importer()` is registered, contrary to the assumption that the hook is restricted to Administrators.

Data Freshness Timeline
(refreshed 19× in last 7d / 101× in last 30d)
Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.
Showing the most recent 100 of 177 refreshes on record for this CVE.
A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. None are among the latest 100 rows. The 77 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.
