CVE-2025-4474
Last modified
CVE-2025-4474 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Frontend Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to a missing capability check on the fed_admin_setting_form_function() function in versions 1.0 to 2.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the plugin’s 'register' role setting to make new user registrations default to the administrator role, leading to an elevation of privileges to that of an administrator.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
