Summary

The Real Estate Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to and including 7.2 due to insufficient restriction on the 'rem_save_profile_front' function.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data or functions within the WordPress system. This poses a serious security threat to the entire site.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Real Estate Manager plugin to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, conducting an audit of user permissions within the system is advisable.
