Digits: WordPress Mobile Number Signup and Login <= 9.1.0.5 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation via 'digits_reg_userrole' Parameter
CVE-2026-13741
Description
The Digits: WordPress Mobile Number Signup and Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.0.5. This is due to missing authorization and role validation in the dig_update_wpwc_custom_fields() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to escalate their privileges to Administrator by submitting a forged digits_reg_userrole value during profile update, granted the site administrator has configured the built-in DIGITS User Role field.
