CVE-2025-14736 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 3.28.25. The flaw is caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied role values in the plugin's validate_value, pre_update_value, and get_fields_display functions. Because role input is not adequately constrained or authorized, an unauthenticated attacker can manipulate registration data to assign themselves an administrative role during account creation. Successful exploitation results in creation of an administrator account and full compromise of the affected WordPress site.

This repository contains a Go-based mass exploitation tool targeting CVE-2025-14736, a critical unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability in the 'Frontend Admin' WordPress plugin by DynamiApps (versions <= 3.28.25). The exploit automates the process of scanning multiple WordPress sites (provided via a list file) for accessible registration forms, extracts required form parameters (nonce and form ID), and submits a crafted POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint. By manipulating the 'role' field in the registration payload, the tool creates a new administrator user (username: hacker_mass, password: Password123!). The tool then verifies the success of the exploit by attempting to log in to /wp-login.php with the new credentials. The repository consists of a single Go source file (mass_exploit.go), a README with detailed usage and vulnerability information, a .gitignore, and a sample target list file. The exploit is operational and can be used for mass exploitation of vulnerable WordPress sites.
