{"cve":"CVE-2026-14250","nvd":{"published":"2026-07-08T12:17:20.200","modified":"2026-07-08T14:55:07.843","status":"Deferred","description":"The Themehunk Login Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This is due to the handle_frontend_register() function in the unauthenticated /thlogin/v1/register REST endpoint accepting a user-controlled 'role' parameter and validating it only against get_editable_roles() — which returns every defined editable site role, including 'editor' — before passing it to wp_insert_user(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, when public user registration is enabled, to create new accounts with the editor role.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","score":6.3},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/themehunk-login-registration/tags/1.0.2/includes/class-thlogin-rest-api.php#L243","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/themehunk-login-registration/tags/1.0.2/includes/class-thlogin-rest-api.php#L782","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/themehunk-login-registration/tags/1.0.2/includes/class-thlogin-rest-api.php#L811","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/themehunk-login-registration/tags/1.0.2/includes/class-thlogin-rest-api.php#L82","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3592690%40themehunk-login-registration&new=3592690%40themehunk-login-registration"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:42:16.820116992+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-14250","score":0.00368,"percentile":0.30662,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
