Title
Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets <= 6.5.13 - Authenticated (Author+) Limited Privilege Escalation via register_user
Summary
The Essential Addons for Elementor – Popular Elementor Templates & Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.5.13. This is due to insufficient role validation in the 'register_user' function, which only blocks the 'administrator' role. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author level access and above, to create new user accounts with elevated privileges such as editor.

CVE-2026-6226 (GCVE-0-2026-6226)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-28 08:27 – Updated: 2026-05-28 10:31

Title
Frontend Admin by DynamiApps <= 3.29.2 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Form Configuration Injection
Summary
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated privilege escalation in versions up to and including 3.29.2. This is due to insecure form submission handling that accepts arbitrary form definitions from user input instead of securely loading them from the backend. When $_POST['_acf_form'] is an array (rather than a form ID), the validate_form() function bypasses database lookup and directly processes the attacker-controlled structure. The create_record() function preserves attacker-supplied record data if present, and the user action's run() function falls back to attacker-controlled field definitions from $form['fields'] when legitimate fields cannot be found. The role field's pre_update_value() validation reads $field['role_options'] from this attacker-controlled definition, allowing an attacker to specify ['administrator'] as an allowed role and bypass the security check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create administrator accounts by injecting a custom form configuration with a spoofed role field.

The role field\u0027s pre_update_value() validation reads $field[\u0027role_options\u0027] from this attacker-controlled definition, allowing an attacker to specify [\u0027administrator\u0027] as an allowed role and bypass the security check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create administrator accounts by injecting a custom form configuration with a spoofed role field."

CVE-2026-6228 (GCVE-0-2026-6228)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-15 07:46 – Updated: 2026-05-15 13:27

Title
Frontend Admin by DynamiApps <= 3.28.36 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Edit User Form
Summary
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 3.28.36. This is due to insufficient authorization checks in the role field update mechanism combined with overly permissive capabilities for the admin_form post type. The admin_form custom post type uses 'capability_type' => 'page', which grants editors the ability to create and edit forms. When an editor creates an edit_user form, they can manipulate the form configuration to include 'administrator' in the role_options array by directly submitting POST data to wp-admin/post.php, bypassing the UI restrictions in feadmin_get_user_roles(). When the form is subsequently submitted, the pre_update_value() function in class-role.php only validates that the submitted role exists in the form's role_options array (lines 107-110), but fails to verify that the current user has permission to assign that specific role. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to first register as editors (via a public new_user form), then create an edit_user form with administrator in the allowed roles, and finally use that form to escalate their own privileges to administrator.

CVE-2026-6386 (GCVE-0-2026-6386)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-22 02:33 – Updated: 2026-04-22 14:32
VLAI
Title
Missing large page handling in pmap_pkru_update_range()
Summary
In order to apply a particular protection key to an address range, the kernel must update the corresponding page table entries. The subroutine which handled this failed to take into account the presence of 1GB largepage mappings created using the shm_create_largepage(3) interface. In particular, it would always treat a page directory page entry as pointing to another page table page. The bug can be abused by an unprivileged user to cause pmap_pkru_update_range() to treat userspace memory as a page table page, and thus overwrite memory to which the application would otherwise not have access.

Title
Wishlist Member <= 3.30.1 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) API Secret Key Disclosure and Privilege Escalation via 'wlm3_get_screen' AJAX action
Summary
The WishList Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 3.30.1. This is due to the missing capability and nonce check in the ajax_get_screen() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to supply an arbitrary admin screen identifier via the data[url] parameter, causing the plugin to load and execute the administrative API configuration template without authorization. The rendered HTML, which contains the plugin's plaintext REST API Secret Key, is returned directly to the attacker in the AJAX JSON response. An attacker who obtains this key can authenticate to the WishList Member API, create a new membership level assigned the administrator WordPress role, and register an arbitrary administrator-level user account, resulting in complete site takeover.

Title
LatePoint <= 5.4.1 - Authenticated (Agent+) Privilege Escalation to Administrator via 'connect-customer-to-wp-user' Ability
Summary
The LatePoint – Calendar Booking Plugin for Appointments and Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 5.4.1. This is due to a missing authorization check in the execute() method of the connect-customer-to-wp-user ability, which only requires the customer__edit capability granted to the latepoint_agent role by default, without verifying whether the target WordPress user ID belongs to a privileged account. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with the latepoint_agent role to link any LatePoint customer record to an administrator's WordPress account and subsequently reset the administrator's password via the normal customer password-reset flow, resulting in full site takeover.

CVE-2026-6895 (GCVE-0-2026-6895)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-23 04:27 – Updated: 2026-05-26 15:21

Title
Wishlist Member <= 3.30.1 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) API Secret Key Disclosure and Privilege Escalation via 'wlm3_export_settings' AJAX Action
Summary
The WishList Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization leading to Sensitive Information Disclosure and Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 3.30.1. This is due to the missing capability checks in the 'export_settings' function. This function returns the REST API Secret Key to the attacker in the AJAX JSON response. An attacker who obtains this key can authenticate to the WishList Member API, create a new membership level assigned the administrator WordPress role, and register an arbitrary administrator-level user account, resulting in complete site takeover.
