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-2026-12497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-12497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12497/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-12497","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qw3x-5xr6-mfgm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can register with elevated roles like Editor due to inconsistent role validation in the ProfilePress WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile \u0026 Restrict Content  WordPress plugin before 4.16.18 does not consistently enforce the role restriction configured on its front-end registration role-selection field. The set of roles offered to the visitor and the set of roles the registration handler accepts are derived by two different parsers, and for some valid ways of configuring the offered roles the handler ignores the restriction and falls back to accepting any non-administrator role. Combined with the absence of a nonce on the public registration handler, this allows an unauthenticated visitor to register an account with a higher role, such as Editor or Author, than the form was configured to offer.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"ProfilePress \u003c 4.16.18 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Registration Role Selection","id":"CVE-2026-12497","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP Travel Engine \u003c 6.8.2 - Unauthenticated Trip Difficulty Level Option Update","id":"CVE-2026-12500"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Loytec LINX firmware: Unauthenticated stored XSS in OPC XML-DA server","id":"CVE-2026-12496"},"products":["Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile \u0026 Restrict Content"],"published":"2026-07-24","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-24","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can register with elevated roles like Editor due to inconsistent role validation in the ProfilePress WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12497/"}
