Frontend Admin by DynamiApps <= 3.28.29 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation to Administrator via Role Form Field

  • Disclosed: 08.01.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.28.29. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied role values in the 'validate_value', 'pre_update_value', and 'get_fields_display' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as administrators and gain complete control of the site, granted they can access a user registration form containing a Role field.
