CVE-2026-103900 Details
Description
The WPJAM Basic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 7.1 This is due to the WPJAM_User_Signup::signup() function unpacking attacker-supplied `data[args]` from the AJAX POST body and merging it via PHP array union into the payload passed to WPJAM_User::create(), whose internal whitelist (wpjam_pick) explicitly preserves the `role` key before it is handed to wp_insert_user(). The endpoint is registered as wp_ajax_nopriv_{provider}-signup with a nonce that is emitted on the public login page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator by creating a new user with an attacker-chosen role, provided a social-login provider is registered and open registration is enabled.
A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the WPJAM Basic plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 7.1. The issue arises because the WPJAM_User_Signup::signup() function processes attacker-supplied data from the AJAX POST request and merges it into the user creation payload. This payload is then sent to WPJAM_User::create(), where the internal whitelist retains the 'role' key before it is passed to wp_insert_user(). The vulnerable endpoint, wp_ajax_nopriv_{provider}-signup', is accessible without authentication, allowing attackers to create a new user with an Administrator role by selecting an appropriate social-login provider and exploiting open registration.
Users are advised to update to WPJAM Basic version 7.1.2 or later.
