Description
The Houzez Login Register plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.6.3. This is due to improper assignment of privileges on user registration that allows users to supply their own role via the houzez_register AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as administrators on vulnerable sites.
