CVE-2025-13542

Published: Dec 2, 2025

Modified: Apr 8, 2026

PUBLISHED

CVSS v3.1

9.8

CRITICAL

Description

The DesignThemes LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This is due to the 'dtlms_register_user_front_end' 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.
