 WordPress HyperComments Plugin <= 1.2.2 is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation 

介绍

# CVE-2025-5701 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation Exploit


**Severity:** CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8)  
**Plugin Affected:** HyperComments for WordPress  
**Versions Affected:** ≤ 1.2.2

---

## 📌 Vulnerability Summary

The **HyperComments** plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of WordPress options due to a missing capability check in the `hc_request_handler` function. This allows **unauthenticated attackers** to update **arbitrary WordPress options**, such as:

- Enabling user registration (`users_can_register`)
- Changing the default role assigned to newly registered users (`default_role`)

By chaining these together, an attacker can enable registration and ensure any new user is automatically granted the **Administrator** role.
