important · Privilege escalation
An unauthenticated Meta Box frontend-form caller can rewrite page content and create a WordPress administrator.
Affects
Meta Box AIO and the standalone Meta Box Frontend Submission and Meta Box User Profile extensions for WordPress sites.
On sites exposing the affected optional components, an attacker-selected object ID reaches form processing without the render-time authorization check. The attacker can replace page content with a registration shortcode that selects the administrator role and automatic login. Meta Box AIO is fixed, but fixed standalone-extension versions were not established.
