CVE-2025-12981: Dreamstechnologies Listee

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Listee theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6. This is due to a broken validation check in the bundled listee-core plugin's user registration function that fails to properly sanitize the user_role parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as Administrator by manipulating the user_role parameter during registration.

Affected products

• Dreamstechnologies Listee: up to and including 1.1.6
