Until an official fix is released, restrict access to any user registration forms containing a Role field or disable such forms entirely. Monitor for updates from DynamiApps regarding a security patch and apply it promptly once available.
Description
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.28.29. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied role values in the 'validate_value', 'pre_update_value', and 'get_fields_display' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as administrators and gain complete control of the site, granted they can access a user registration form containing a Role field.
