Until an official fix is released, it is recommended to restrict access to the registration functionality or disable the WP RealEstate plugin if possible. Monitor official ApusThemes communications for updates and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

The WP RealEstate plugin for WordPress, used by the Homeo theme, is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.26. This is due to insufficient role restrictions in the 'process_register' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an account with the Administrator role.
