Until a fix is available, administrators should review and disable any anonymous automations that assign roles dynamically from user-controlled input, especially those binding the Role option to trigger tags like {comment_author}. Avoid approving comments or other actions that trigger such automations until the vulnerability is addressed.

Description

The AutomatorWP WordPress plugin up to version 6.0.4 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. This flaw arises from insufficient privilege validation in the create_user() function when used in anonymous-user actions or certain WordPress integration actions. An attacker can exploit this by triggering an automation configured to assign roles dynamically from user-controlled data, such as comment author fields, allowing creation of an administrator account without authentication. Exploitation requires a specific automation setup and is triggered by routine admin actions like comment approval, which does not alert the admin to the creation of a privileged account.
