DescriptionCVE.org

The Doctreat Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.8. This is due to the doctreat_process_registration() function not properly restricting the roles that a user can register with. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as an administrator user.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated privilege escalation in the Doctreat Core WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.6.8) allows remote attackers to register accounts directly as administrators by abusing insufficient role validation in the doctreat_process_registration() function. With a CVSS of 9.8 and trivial exploitability (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), full site takeover is possible without credentials, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not currently listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The Doctreat Core plugin underpins the commercial Doctreat doctors-directory WordPress theme sold on ThemeForest (item 24867777) by Amentotech. WordPress exposes a register_user / wp_insert_user role parameter that must be server-side enforced because client-supplied role values are untrusted. CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) applies here: the doctreat_process_registration() handler accepts the desired role from the registration request without restricting it to the intended low-privilege values (e.g., subscriber, doctor, patient), allowing 'administrator' to be passed through to user creation. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:amentotech:doctreat_core:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions through 1.6.8.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available data - references point only to the Wordfence threat-intel entry and the ThemeForest product page, with no fixed version cited. Site operators should immediately check ThemeForest for an updated Doctreat theme/plugin release above 1.6.8 and apply it as soon as published, and in the meantime disable user self-registration by unchecking 'Anyone can register' in Settings > General (side effect: legitimate doctor/patient self-onboarding will break and must be handled manually or via a vetted alternative form), deactivate the Doctreat Core plugin if registration is not business-critical (side effect: theme features that depend on it will stop working), or place a WAF/virtual-patching rule (e.g., Wordfence) in front of the registration endpoint to block requests containing a role parameter set to administrator. After remediation, audit wp_users for unexpected administrator accounts created since plugin installation and force a password reset on all admins.
