The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 3.6.0 due to the insecure administrator default value for the default_user_role option. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an administrator user even if the registration form is disabled.

Weakness

A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
