Subscriber-level privilege escalation via unrestricted role selection
Published Aug 20, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Incorrect privilege assignment in Brainstorm Force SureDash 1.0.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to gain higher roles. Public advisories do not identify the affected handler; they report that SureDash fails to restrict which roles an authenticated user can select. Subscriber-level access is required, and successful exploitation grants elevated WordPress privileges that can permit full site control.
