Title
SP Project & Document Manager <= 4.67 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Insecure Direct Object Reference to Arbitrary User Password Change
Summary
The SP Project & Document Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object References in versions up to, and including, 4.67. This is due to the plugin providing user-controlled access to objects, letting a user bypass authorization and access system resources. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber privileges or above, to change user passwords and potentially take over administrator accounts.
