An issue was discovered in the Ultimate Member plugin before 2.1.12 for WordPress, aka Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via User Meta

🚨 A sneaky array parameter can grant admin privileges to anyone! 🤯 The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated privilege escalation, making it a prime target for attackers looking to take control. It's like a restaurant where anyone can dictate the menu—imagine someone walking in and ordering a gourmet meal just because they wrote their own name on the reservation list! 🍽️ This flaw allows attackers to submit their own user roles through the registration process, bypassing all checks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain Administrator access without needing to authenticate, potentially allowing them to modify site settings, access sensitive data, or even take down the site altogether. This is absolutely devastating for any WordPress site using this plugin, as it opens the door to total control! 🔥
