Description
The bbPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.6.4. This is due to a logic bug within the signup process. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to grant themselves a role that will provide authorization to delete forum activities, import or export forum users, and create new forum moderators
