This is due to the 'insert_user' function not restricting the roles with which a user can register. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site. Note: The vulnerability can only be exploited if 'role' is mapped to the custom field.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/acf-extended/tags/0.9.2.1/includes/modules/form/module-form-action-user.php#L636","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/acf-extended/tags/0.9.2.2/includes/fields/field-user-roles.php#L437","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/acf-extended/tags/0.9.2.2/includes/modules/form/module-form-action-user.php#L356","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/d44f8af2-3525-4b00-afa8-a908250cc838?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:21:16.563232421+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-14533","score":0.01495,"percentile":0.74183,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
