CVE-2025-12981

Published: Feb 27, 2026

Modified: Apr 8, 2026

PUBLISHED

CVSS v3.1

9.8

CRITICAL

Description

The Listee theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6. This is due to a broken validation check in the bundled listee-core plugin's user registration function that fails to properly sanitize the user_role parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as Administrator by manipulating the user_role parameter during registration.
