CVE-2025-5117 | Property 1.0.5 - 1.0.6 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Author+) Privilege Escalation via property_package_user_role Metadata in PayPal Registration

The Property plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the use of the property_package_user_role metadata in versions 1.0.5 to 1.0.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author‐level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator by creating a package post whose property_package_user_role is set to administrator and then submitting the PayPal registration form.
