Subscriber-to-Administrator escalation via unchecked role update
Published Jul 16, 2026 · Updated Jul 16, 2026
Privilege escalation in UnitedOver Digits 9.1.0.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to grant themselves Administrator access. The dig_update_wpwc_custom_fields() function accepts a forged digits_reg_userrole profile value without authorization or role validation. Exploitation requires Subscriber-level access and the built-in DIGITS User Role field to be configured, after which the account gains full Administrator privileges.
