Associated Vulnerability

Title: Read More & Accordion <= 3.5.7 - Privilege Escalation via importData (CVE-2026-7467)
Description: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.

Description

The Read More & Accordion (expand-maker) plugin for WordPress through 3.5.7 allows privilege escalation due to improper validation in the importData AJAX handler (yrm_import_data action). An authenticated user with plugin access can upload a crafted JSON attachment to insert arbitrary rows into WordPress database tables, including those that control user roles and capabilities, potentially leading to site takeover.
