Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access and above to trusted users only. Consider disabling or removing the Administrator Z plugin if it is not essential. Monitor for updates from the vendor or the WordPress plugin repository for a security patch.
Description
The Administrator Z plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the adminz_import_backup() function in all versions up to, and including, 2025.03.24. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site. CVE-2025-26959 is a duplicate of this issue.
