CVE-2026-0844

Simple User Registration <= 6.7 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation via profile_save_field

CVSS 8.8 HIGHEPSS 0.3%CWE-284
The Simple User Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 6.7 due to insufficient restriction on the 'profile_save_field' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the 'wp_capabilities' parameter during a profile update.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
