II. Public POCs for CVE-2021-34622

# POC Description Source Link Shenlong Link
1 ProfilePress plugin before 3.1.4 allows privilege escalation. Due to insufficient validation in the profile update functionality, authenticated users can supply arbitrary usermeta fields, including `wp_capabilities`, during profile updates. This enables a user to escalate their privileges to administrator. https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates/blob/main/http/cves/2021/CVE-2021-34622.yaml POC Details
