# CVE-2025-14533

> 9.8 CRITICAL

## Beschreibung

The Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 0.9.2.1. This is due to the 'insert_user' function not restricting the roles with which a user can register. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply the 'administrator' role during registration and gain administrator access to the site. Note: The vulnerability can only be exploited if 'role' is mapped to the custom field.

## CISA-Anreicherung (vulnrichment/ADP)

- CISA-SSVC (Coordinator, v2.0.3):
  - Exploitation: **none**
  - Automatable: **yes**
