CVE-2025-13764 PUBLISHED

WP CarDealer <= 1.2.16 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 27.11.2025 Published: 11.12.2025 Updated: 11.12.2025

The WP CarDealer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.16. This is due to the 'WP_CarDealer_User::process_register' function not restricting what user roles a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site.
