It carries a CVSS score of 9.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview
The Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via the 'imic_agent_register' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.6. This is due to a lack of restriction in the registration role. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily choose their role, including the Administrator role, during user registration.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management
Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme <= 3.6 carries this weakness at imic_agent_register, and reaching it takes no account at all. Improper privilege management means the code lets an account end up with capabilities its role should not have.
It converts a low-privileged account into an administrative one, which makes every other restriction on the site irrelevant. For Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme the fix is 3.6.1: builds <= 3.6 are affected, anything from 3.6.1 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.6.1, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Real Spaces - WordPress Properties Directory Theme 3.6.1 closes this, and updating the theme is the step that ends it.
