CVE-2026-75824: CWE-284 Improper Access Control in User Frontend
The User Frontend WordPress plugin before 4.3.12 does not check whether the site allows user registration before creating an account, allowing unauthenticated users to create accounts on sites where registration is disabled. The created account receives the site's default role.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-75824 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the User Frontend WordPress plugin versions from 2.5.8 up to but not including 4.3.12. The plugin fails to check whether user registration is enabled on the site before allowing account creation. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can create new user accounts on sites that have disabled registration, potentially bypassing intended access restrictions. The created accounts are assigned the default role configured on the site.
