WordPress · Paid Videochat Turnkey Site – Html5 Ppv Live Webcams · CVE-2025-8899
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Paid Videochat Turnkey Site – HTML5 PPV Live Webcams plugin for WordPress versions through 7.3.20
**Description**
The Paid Videochat Turnkey Site – HTML5 PPV Live Webcams plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a privilege escalation issue. The `videowhisper register form()` function does not adequately restrict user roles during registration. This allows authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher to create posts or pages containing a registration form configured to assign administrator privileges. Attackers can then utilize this form to register a new administrator account, effectively gaining administrative control. While contributors can also attempt this exploit, its success depends on an administrator approving the form with the administrator role assigned.
**Recommendations**
Update the Paid Videochat Turnkey Site – HTML5 PPV Live Webcams plugin for WordPress to version 7.3.21.
