CVE-2026-75823
UnknownSummary
The User Frontend WordPress plugin before version 4.3.12 does not prevent tampering with the role assigned by its registration form, allowing unauthenticated users to register with a higher privileged role, such as Editor. This affects installations running a PHP build where the sodium extension is unavailable, and where a registration page has been configured. The administrator role cannot be obtained this way.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that unauthenticated users can gain elevated privileges (e.g., Editor), potentially leading to unauthorized content changes and compromise of site integrity.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the User Frontend plugin to version 4.3.12 or later and enable the sodium extension in PHP if possible to prevent role tampering.
