{"id":"CVE-2026-75971","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon <= 4.9.4 - Authenticated (Shop Manager+) Privilege Escalation to WXR Import '<wp_option>' Nodes","description":"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 `<wp_option>` 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.","publishedAt":"2026-08-25T11:27:11.397Z","updatedAt":"2026-08-25T13:08:29.780Z","severity":{"score":7.2,"label":"High","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["roxnor ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon – All in One WooCommerce Solution with eCommerce Templates & Woo Widgets"],"affected":[{"vendor":"roxnor","product":"ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon – All in One WooCommerce Solution with eCommerce Templates & Woo Widgets","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"4.9.4","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4045d49f-fd12-4906-9e60-97fdb082fe84?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/shopengine/tags/4.9.4/core/export-import/import.php#L45","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/shopengine/tags/4.9.4/core/export-import/import.php#L19","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/shopengine/tags/4.9.4/core/builders/base.php#L57"],"weaknesses":["CWE-269"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:12:58.252Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/75xxx/CVE-2026-75971.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-75971","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-08-25T11:27:11.397Z","dateUpdated":"2026-08-25T13:08:29.780Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-08-18T17:35:04.430Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"ShopEngine Elementor WooCommerce Builder Addon <= 4.9.4 - Authenticated (Shop Manager+) Privilege Escalation to WXR Import '<wp_option>' Nodes","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"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.
