An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-49217 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: madiriaashish Adding drop down roles in registration. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49217/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49217/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49217","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49217/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49217","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6v6v-w6v8-phhr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges via incorrect role assignment in the WordPress registration plugin, requiring an upgrade to fix.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"adding_drop_down_roles_in_registration","vendor":"madirisalmanaashish"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in madiriaashish Adding drop down roles in registration user-drop-down-roles-in-registration allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Adding drop down roles in registration: from n/a through \u003c= 1.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Adding drop down roles in registration plugin \u003c= 1.1 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49217","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Recently plugin \u003c= 1.1 - PHP Object Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49218"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Feed Comments Number plugin \u003c= 0.2.1 - Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49216"},"products":["Adding drop down roles in registration"],"published":"2024-10-17","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-29","vendors":["madiriaashish"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges via incorrect role assignment in the WordPress registration plugin, requiring an upgrade to fix.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49217/"}
