DescriptionCVE.org

The My Login WordPress plugin before 7.2.0 does not enforce the network's registration setting when processing site signups on multisite installations, allowing users with a subscriber account, and unauthenticated users on some networks, to create new sites and be granted administrator over them.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in the Theme My Login WordPress plugin (versions before 7.2.0) allows low-privileged users to silently bypass the network's site-creation restrictions on multisite WordPress installations, gaining administrator-level control over a newly created site. Subscriber-level authenticated users - and on some networks, unauthenticated users - can invoke the site-signup flow to create sites even when the network's registration setting prohibits it. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires WordPress to be running in multisite mode with the Theme My Login plugin (versions before 7.2.0) active on the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-provided CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L) understates real-world impact: gaining site administrator over a WordPress site confers the ability to install arbitrary plugins, modify themes, and access all data within that site, which is better characterized as I:H rather than I:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update Theme My Login to version 7.2.0 or later, which enforces the network registration setting during multisite site signups. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
