CVE-2025-13764 Details
Description
The WP CarDealer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.16. This is due to the 'WP_CarDealer_User::process_register' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site.
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the WP CarDealer plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.2.16. The issue arises because the 'WP_CarDealer_User::process_register' function does not properly limit the user roles that can be registered. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to register users with the 'administrator' role, thereby gaining administrative access to the site.
Users are advised to update the WP CarDealer plugin to version 1.2.17 or a newer patched version.
