Descriptions
Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in WPForms, LLC. WPForms User Registration allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects WPForms User Registration: from n/a through 2.1.0.
The WPForms User Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0. This is due to a missing capability check when adding a role option to a form. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to create a form that allows them to register as a higher privileged user.
