NVD description
The Invoice Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the pravel_invoice_edit_account() AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. The handler is exposed via wp_ajax_nopriv_pravel_invoice_edit_account, accepts an attacker-controlled user_id and user_email from POST data, and calls wp_update_user() without verifying authentication, ownership, or a nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the email address of any user, including administrators, and then trigger WordPress's password reset flow to gain access to the targeted account.

The post announces CVE-2026-12415, a high‑severity privilege escalation flaw in the Invoice Generator WordPress plugin, and urges site administrators to update if the plugin is in use.
🚨 CRITICAL - Unauthenticated WordPress admin takeover via AJAX privilege escalation (CVE-2026-12415) A critical privilege escalation flaw exists in the Invoice Generator plugin for WordPress, specifically in the pravel_invoice_edit_account() AJAX action. The root cause is a missing capability check combined with absent nonce verification and no ownership validation, allowing unsafe use of wp_update_user() with attacker-controlled parameters. An unauthenticated attacker can hit the AJAX endpoint and supply arbitrary user_id and user_email values to update another user’s account details, including an administrator. If exploited, this enables admin account takeover by changing the admin email and leveraging WordPress password reset, leading to full site compromise and potential data exfiltration or malware deployment. 👉 Affected: Invoice Generator <= 1.0.0 | Upgrade to No fix yet - treat as suspicious
