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."}], "lastModified": "2026-01-26T15:05:23.427", "sourceIdentifier": "security@wordfence.com"}
