WP ERP through 1.17.11 Incorrect Authorization via HRM Job-Info AJAX Handlers
weDevs ERP (WP ERP) through 1.17.11 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated employees to edit their own HR records because HRM AJAX handlers check erp_edit_employee instead of erp_manage_jobinfo. Attackers can post their own user_id with the My Profile nonce to change designation, reporting manager, pay rate, and employment type, or delete job history.
