This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Portal Manager-level access and above to poison the `default_role` setting to `administrator`, after which any subsequent new-user registration through the publicly accessible block-register endpoint reads the corrupted setting and passes it directly to `wp_insert_user()`, producing a full WordPress Administrator account under the attacker's control. The exploit requires two steps: a POST to the authenticated `save-settings` endpoint to overwrite `default_role`, followed by triggering a new registration through the unauthenticated block-register endpoint to receive the escalated account. Successful exploitation causes the attacker's own account to receive the complete administrator role."}],"id":"CVE-2026-123769","lastModified":"2026-11-13T10:17:27.953","metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"cvssData":{"attackComplexity":"LOW","attackVector":"NETWORK","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","baseScore":8.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","scope":"UNCHANGED","userInteraction":"NONE","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"exploitabilityScore":2.8,"impactScore":5.9,"source":"security@wordfence.com","type":"Primary"}]},"published":"2026-11-13T10:17:27.823","references":[{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/suredash/tags/1.13.0/core/routers/backend.php#L1309"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/suredash/tags/1.13.0/core/routers/social-logins.php#L472"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/suredash/tags/1.13.0/inc/services/router.php#L108"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/suredash/tags/1.13.0/inc/utils/sanitizer.php#L101"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/suredash/tags/1.13.0/inc/utils/settings.php#L604"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3794229/suredash/trunk/core/routers/backend.php"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2f317dcd-dc4f-482a-8faa-91cd9c022276?source=cve"}],"sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","vulnStatus":"Deferred","weaknesses":[{"description":[{"lang":"en","value":"CWE-269"}],"source":"security@wordfence.com","type":"Primary"}]}
