Privilege escalation via forged role approval request
Published Oct 25, 2025 · Updated Oct 25, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Astoundify Simple Registration for WooCommerce 1.5.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to approve role requests. The role requests admin page handler in includes/display-role-admin.php processes an approval action without validating a request nonce. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to open a crafted link or page, after which a pending account can receive elevated privileges.
