Summary

The Security For WooCommerce WordPress plugin from 1.0.10 to 1.0.16 does not perform capability checks when creating users through an action available to unauthenticated visitors, and lets the caller choose the new account's role, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create administrator accounts and take over the site.
