AI-suggested

Users of the WP CarDealer plugin should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, it is recommended to disable or remove the WP CarDealer plugin to prevent exploitation. Additionally, restrict user registration or implement custom access controls to mitigate risk.

Description

The WP CarDealer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.16. This is due to the 'WP_CarDealer_User::process_register' 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.
