CVE-2026-14250

MediumCVSS 6.3
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Themehunk Login Registration plugin for WordPress up to version 1.0.2 allows privilege escalation. Unauthenticated attackers can create accounts with the editor role when public registration is enabled by manipulating the 'role' parameter in a REST request.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain administrative access with editor privileges, allowing modification of content including injection of malicious code, and potentially escalate to full site control.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Themehunk Login Registration plugin to the latest available version. If no update is available, temporarily disable public user registration.

Original NVD description (English source)

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 'role' parameter and validating it only against get_editable_roles() — which returns every defined editable site role, including 'editor' — 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.
