Administrator escalation via forged Chronos automation task
Published Jul 1, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026
CSRF in Metagauss RegistrationMagic 6.0.9.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to grant a form submitter administrator privileges. The process_request function accepts a forged rmc_assign_user_role_action request without effective nonce validation and creates a malicious Chronos automation task that WordPress cron executes. An administrator must act on the attacker-controlled request; execution changes the selected submitter's role to administrator.
