CVE ID : CVE-2025-13542

Published : Dec. 2, 2025, 8:15 p.m. | 1 hour, 24 minutes ago

Description : The DesignThemes LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This is due to the ‘dtlms_register_user_front_end’ 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.

Severity: 9.8 | CRITICAL
