Unauthenticated Administrator account creation via unrestricted role selection
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Incorrect privilege assignment in Contempo Creative Inc. Real Estate 7 3.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to create Administrator accounts. The front-end registration logic accepts an attacker-selected role without restricting registration to nonadministrative roles. No existing account or user interaction is required, and successful registration leaves attackers with a new WordPress Administrator account.
