Title
Tiger <= 101.2.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation
Summary
The Tiger theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 101.2.1. This is due to the plugin allowing a user to update the user role through the $user->set_role() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.

Title
WP CarDealer <= 1.2.16 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation
Summary
The WP CarDealer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.16. This is due to the 'WP_CarDealer_User::process_register' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site.

CVE-2025-13851 (GCVE-0-2025-13851)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-02-19 04:36 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:32

Title
Buyent Theme (with Buyent Classified Plugin) <= 1.0.7 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via User Registration
Summary
The Buyent Classified plugin for WordPress (bundled with Buyent theme) is vulnerable to privilege escalation via user registration in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This is due to the plugin not validating or restricting the user role during registration via the REST API endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register accounts with arbitrary roles, including administrator, by manipulating the _buyent_classified_user_type parameter during the registration process, granting them complete control over the WordPress site.

CVE-2025-14533 (GCVE-0-2025-14533)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-20 09:25 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:25

Title
Advanced Custom Fields: Extended <= 0.9.2.1 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Insert User Form Action
Summary
The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.2.1. This is due to the 'insert_user' function not restricting the roles with which a user can register. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site. Note: The vulnerability can only be exploited if 'role' is mapped to the custom field.

Title
Frontend Admin by DynamiApps <= 3.28.29 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to Administrator via Role Form Field
Summary
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.28.29. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied role values in the 'validate_value', 'pre_update_value', and 'get_fields_display' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as administrators and gain complete control of the site, granted they can access a user registration form containing a Role field.

Mitigation ID: MIT-1

Phases: Architecture and Design, Operation

Description:

  • Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation ID: MIT-48

Phase: Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Description:

  • Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Mitigation ID: MIT-49

Phase: Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Description:

  • Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
