CVE-2025-6758 (GCVE-0-2025-6758)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-19 06:45 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:29

Title
Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme <= 3.6 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to Administrator via 'imic_agent_register'
Summary
The Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via the 'imic_agent_register' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.6. This is due to a lack of restriction in the registration role. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily choose their role, including the Administrator role, during user registration.
Severity
9.8 (Critical)

CVE-2025-6723 (GCVE-0-2025-6723)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-30 14:09 – Updated: 2026-03-11 14:30

Title
Untrusted user data can lead to privilege escalation
Summary
Chef InSpec versions up to 5.23 and before 7.0.107 creates named pipes with overly permissive default Windows access controls. A local attacker may interfere with the pipe connection process and exploit the insufficient access restrictions to assume the InSpec execution context, potentially resulting in elevated privileges or operational disruption. This issue affects Chef Inspec: through 5.23 and before 7.0.107

CVE-2025-6366 (GCVE-0-2025-6366)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-26 14:26 – Updated: 2026-04-08 16:54

Title
Event List <= 2.0.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation
Summary
The Event List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's capabilities prior to updating their profile in the el_update_profile() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change their capabilities to those of an administrator.
Severity

CVE-2025-6080 (GCVE-0-2025-6080)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-16 03:38 – Updated: 2026-04-08 16:59

Title
WPGYM <= 67.7.0 - Missing Authorization to Admin Account Creation
Summary
The WPGYM - Wordpress Gym Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized admin account creation in all versions up to, and including, 67.7.0. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's capabilities prior to adding users. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create new users, including admins.

Title
Lisfinity Core - Lisfinity Core plugin used for pebas® Lisfinity WordPress theme <= 1.4.0 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to Editor
Summary
The Lisfinity Core - Lisfinity Core plugin used for pebas® Lisfinity WordPress theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.0.

Title
Service Finder SMS System <= 2.0.0 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation
Summary
The Service Finder SMS System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This is due to the plugin not restricting user role selection at the time of registration through the aonesms_fn_savedata_after_signup() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as an administrator user.

CVE-2025-5931 (GCVE-0-2025-5931)

Title
Dokan Pro <= 4.0.5 - Authenticated (Vendor+) Privilege Escalation
Summary
The Dokan Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.5. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password during a staff password reset. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with vendor-level access and above, to elevate their privilege to the level of a staff member and then change arbitrary user passwords, including those of administrators in order to gain access to their accounts. By default, the plugin allows customers to become vendors.

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-48
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.

Mitigation MIT-49
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.

CAPEC-122: Privilege Abuse

An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources.

CAPEC-233: Privilege Escalation

An adversary exploits a weakness enabling them to elevate their privilege and perform an action that they are not supposed to be authorized to perform.

CAPEC-58: Restful Privilege Elevation

An adversary identifies a Rest HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permission method allowing them to perform various malicious actions upon server data due to lack of access control mechanisms implemented within the application service accepting HTTP messages.
