CVE-2026-120070
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-558h-x4v5-3hwr ↗EUVD-2026-114657 ↗
description
User Frontend for WordPress versions through 4.3.13 can allow a logged-in Subscriber or higher-privileged user to bypass restrictions on submitted post content. An attacker may cause an Editor-level registration path to be exposed publicly and create a privileged account. Automatic login after registration enables immediate use of the newly created account.
mitigation
Disable frontend post submission for untrusted, low-privilege users or deactivate the plugin until a corrected release is confirmed. Disable automatic login after registration, and review published content and accounts for unauthorized registration forms or elevated users.
outcome
Upstream: a detection for this already ships elsewhere, so we didn't generate a new one. The credit goes to whoever did.
