Simpler Checkout < 1.5.4 - Subscriber+ Privilege Escalation via Forged Auto-Login Token

The Simpler Checkout WordPress plugin before 1.5.4 does not properly restrict who can create orders and checks its automatic login link with a key that stays empty until the store owner configures the Simpler Checkout WordPress plugin before 1.5.4, allowing subscribers on stores that have not completed setup to log in as an administrator.

Security For WooCommerce <= 1.0.16 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via REST API Options Update and User Token Disclosure

The Security For WooCommerce WordPress plugin through 1.0.16 does not restrict access to several of its REST API routes, allowing unauthenticated users to generate login tokens for every user and then retrieve them, and so log in as any user, including administrators.

User Registration & Membership 5.2.8 - 5.3.1 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Coupon-Based Payment Bypass

The User Registration & Membership WordPress plugin before 5.3.2 does not verify that a discount coupon applied to a paid membership plan is actually valid for that plan before treating a fully discounted order as paid, allowing unauthenticated users to be granted the role mapped to a paid plan without paying for it, which can lead to privilege escalation up to administrator where a plan is mapped to a privileged role.

Forminator Forms 1.58.0 - 1.58.3 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Paid Registration Form When Stripe Gateway Unavailable

The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.58.4 does not enforce payment on the server side when a form's configured payment gateway is unavailable, allowing unauthenticated visitors to complete a payment-gated User Registration form without paying and be assigned the form's configured role, up to administrator, after the gateway has been connected and later disconnected.

CVE-2026-121690

FrodoBots EarthRover Mini+ firmware (version 6.2.4_6.2.5_0.614.0) executes code with unnecessary privileges. All processes run as root and the system lacks privilege separation. The compromise of any single service results in full administrative control of the device.

WPJAM Basic <= 7.1 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to 'data[args][role]' Parameter

The WPJAM Basic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 7.1 This is due to the WPJAM_User_Signup::signup() function unpacking attacker-supplied `data[args]` from the AJAX POST body and merging it via PHP array union into the payload passed to WPJAM_User::create(), whose internal whitelist (wpjam_pick) explicitly preserves the `role` key before it is handed to wp_insert_user(). The endpoint is registered as wp_ajax_nopriv_{provider}-signup with a nonce that is emitted on the public login page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator by creating a new user with an attacker-chosen role, provided a social-login provider is registered and open registration is enabled.

Registration Form for WooCommerce <= 1.1.4 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to 'user_roles' Parameter at Checkout

The Registration Form for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing allow-list check in the FormHandler::validate_checkout_fields() function in versions up to, and including, 1.1.4 The My Account registration path (validate_fields()) validates a submitted 'tgwcfb/user-roles' value against the form's configured allowed roles, but the checkout registration path (validate_checkout_fields(), hooked to woocommerce_after_checkout_validation) stores the raw $_POST['user_roles'] value in $this->valid_data without any allow-list enforcement, and add_user_data() then injects that value into woocommerce_new_customer_data as the new account's role. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator by supplying a user_roles=administrator parameter when creating an account during checkout, resulting in full site takeover.

Reset Database <= 1.1.3 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation to Missing Capability and Nonce Check in process_reset()

The Reset Database plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.1.3. This is due to the process_reset() function being registered on admin_init with no capability check, a computed-but-unused nonce, a gating condition that passes whenever no WordPress administrator literally named 'admin' exists (the default on modern installs), and an identity test that verifies the ATTACKER'S OWN password rather than an administrator's. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to drop every prefixed database table, re-run wp_install() with their own credentials — making the attacker the sole site administrator — authenticate as that administrator via wp_set_auth_cookie(), and delete the uploads directory.

Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Improper privilege management in Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Privilege escalation through folder move in the folders API

A user with the Editor role who can edit a folder can move it, through the folders resource API, under a folder they administer, and so gain Admin on the moved folder and its contents, including the right to change their permissions. The legacy folder move API refuses the same move (improper privilege management).

WP Remote Users Sync < 2.3.0 - Privilege Escalation to Administrator via 'meta' Sync Action

The WP Remote Users Sync WordPress plugin before 2.3.0 does not restrict which user metadata keys may be written through its incoming user synchronisation requests, allowing a site that holds the shared synchronisation keys to set the capabilities of any existing account and escalate it to administrator.

VibeBP <= 1.9.9.8.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation in set_email_notification_settings()

The VibeBP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.9.8.1. This is due to the plugin allowing arbitrary user meta updates through the set_email_notification_settings() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to grant themselves administrator privileges by updating their own 'wp_capabilities' user meta value.

CourseCure Courses <= 1.5.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation to 'ajax_save_settings' Endpoint

The CourseCure Courses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.5.1. This is due to a missing capability check in the ajax_save_settings() function, which accepts arbitrary POST parameters and calls update_option() with attacker-controlled keys and values without any authorization verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to administrator by setting the default_role WordPress option to 'administrator' and users_can_register to '1', then registering a new account that is automatically granted full administrator access.

JSON Options <= 0.0.4 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Options Update

The JSON Options WordPress plugin through 0.0.4 does not have any capability check or nonce verification on one of its actions, which runs on every request and is available to unauthenticated users, allowing them to update arbitrary WordPress options. This can be leveraged to enable user registration and set the default role to administrator, leading to privilege escalation and full site takeover.

SEO Flow by LupsOnline 3.0.0 - 3.0.2 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via API Key Authentication

The SEO Flow by LupsOnline WordPress plugin before 3.0.3 does not correctly validate the credential supplied with its API requests, allowing unauthenticated users to be served as the administrator who configured the SEO Flow by LupsOnline WordPress plugin before 3.0.3 and take over the site. Exploitation requires the SEO Flow by LupsOnline WordPress plugin before 3.0.3 to have been configured, which is its normal operating state.

Rote through 2.6.0 Privilege Escalation via Admin Settings API JWT Secret Exposure

Rote through 2.6.0 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated admins to obtain super_admin rights by reading or overwriting JWT signing secrets via /v2/api/admin/settings. Attackers can retrieve the unmasked jwtSecret from the security settings group and forge HS256 tokens for the super administrator to change user roles and escalate their own account.

Webmin through 2.670 Privilege Escalation via acl/save_group.cgi

Webmin through 2.670 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in acl/save_group.cgi that allows delegated administrators to grant unauthorized modules by submitting arbitrary module lists in the mod parameter. Attackers with Webmin Users module access can create or edit groups holding modules like Command Shell and assign themselves membership to execute commands as root.

Adobe Photoshop versions Photoshop CC 2019, and Photoshop 2020 have a security bypass vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation.

RestrictMate < 1.3.0 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to Administrator

The RestrictMate WordPress plugin before 1.3.0 does not restrict the user role supplied during account registration, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create a new administrator account and gain a logged-in administrator session, leading to full site takeover.

CMP - Coming Soon & Maintenance < 4.1.18 - Editor+ Privilege Escalation via cmp_ajax_import_settings

The CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18 does not enforce an option-name allow-list when importing settings via one of its AJAX actions, allowing users with the Editor role (when the administrator has granted the Editor role access to the CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18's admin-bar controls) to update arbitrary WordPress options, including options that lead to privilege escalation to Administrator.
