Type:

CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management

Publication date:

Description

The Themehunk Login Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to the handle_frontend_register() function in the unauthenticated /thlogin/v1/register REST endpoint accepting a user-controlled &#39;role&#39; parameter and validating it only against get_editable_roles() — which returns every defined editable site role, including &#39;editor&#39; — before passing it to wp_insert_user(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, when public user registration is enabled, to create new accounts with the editor role.
