CVE-2026-92541 Details
Description
The Import and export users and customers WordPress plugin before 2.5.2 does not enforce the promote_users capability in its front-end import functionality, allowing users with only the create_users capability to change the role of existing users, including promoting them to administrator.
A vulnerability exists in the WordPress Import and Export Users and Customers plugin in versions prior to 2.5.2. The issue arises because the plugin's front-end import feature does not require the promote_users capability. This oversight allows users with only the create_users capability to alter the roles of existing users, including the ability to promote them to administrators.
Users are advised to update the Import and Export Users and Customers WordPress plugin to version 2.5.2 or later.
