description

PilotPress for WordPress through version 2.0.43 mishandles account-name changes in its ONTRAPORT integration. An authenticated Subscriber-level or higher member can take over an Administrator account when they have a valid ONTRAPORT contact and a Customer Center nonce.

mitigation

Deactivate PilotPress on affected sites until a patched release is confirmed. If it must remain enabled, remove untrusted member access and restrict access to Customer Center functions.
