Descriptions

The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 5.1.1. This is due to the plugin using native password reset functionality, with insufficient validation on the password reset function (userpro_process_form). The function uses the plaintext value of a password reset key instead of a hashed value which means it can easily be retrieved and subsequently used. An attacker can leverage CVE-2023-2448 and CVE-2023-2446, or another vulnerability like SQL Injection in another plugin or theme installed on the site to successfully exploit this vulnerability.

El complemento UserPro para WordPress es vulnerable a restablecimientos de contraseña no autorizados en versiones hasta la 5.1.1 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento utiliza la funcionalidad nativa de restablecimiento de contraseña, con una validación insuficiente de la función de restablecimiento de contraseña (userpro_process_form). La función utiliza el valor de texto plano de una clave de restablecimiento de contraseña en lugar de un valor hash, lo que significa que se puede recuperar y utilizar posteriormente fácilmente. Un atacante puede aprovechar CVE-2023-2448 y CVE-2023-2446, u otra vulnerabilidad como inyección SQL en otro complemento o tema instalado en el sitio para explotar con éxito esta vulnerabilidad.

WordPress UserPro plugin versions 5.1.1 and below suffer from an insecure password reset mechanism, information disclosure, and authentication bypass vulnerabilities. Versions 5.1.4 and below suffer from privilege escalation and shortcode execution vulnerabilities.
