Subscriber-to-Administrator escalation via unchecked option writes
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Privilege escalation in Toret Manager 1.2.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to obtain WordPress administrator access. The trman_save_option and trman_save_option_items AJAX handlers accept subscriber-controlled option names and values, then write them without a capability check. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to enable registration, set the default registration role to administrator, and create an administrative account.
