Technical details

The Doctreat Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a lack of role validation in the doctreat_process_registration() function. This function fails to restrict the user roles that can be assigned during the registration process. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by submitting a registration request that specifies a high-privileged role, such as 'administrator'. This allows for complete site takeover. The vulnerability affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 1.6.8.
