Unauthenticated administrator registration via unrestricted role selection
Published Jun 10, 2026 · Updated Jun 10, 2026
Privilege escalation in AmentoTech Doctreat Core 1.6.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to register administrator accounts. The doctreat_process_registration() function accepts a requested registration role without restricting it to permitted nonadministrative roles. No authentication or user interaction is required; a reachable registration endpoint grants an attacker a WordPress administrator identity and its associated control.
