Summary
The Read More & Accordion plugin for WordPress up to version 3.5.7 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. The RadMoreAjax::importData function does not restrict which database tables can be written to during import and does not properly validate imported data. An authenticated attacker with appropriate permissions can insert arbitrary rows into the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables, including the wp_capabilities field, creating a new administrator account.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could gain full administrative access to the WordPress site, potentially leading to site takeover.
Recommendation
Update the Read More & Accordion plugin to the latest available version.

Original NVD description (English source)
The Read More & Accordion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.7. This is due to the 'RadMoreAjax::importData' function not restricting which database tables can be written to during import and not properly validating the imported data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with permission granted by the site owner through the plugin's role settings, to insert arbitrary rows into the 'wp_users' and 'wp_usermeta' tables, including the 'wp_capabilities' field, allowing them to create a new administrator account and gain administrator access to the site.
