Descriptions

The Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 3.9.8 lacks authorisation and CSRF in its page creation function which allows unauthenticated users to create the register, log-in and edit-profile pages from the plugin on the blog

El complemento Profile Builder de WordPress anterior a 3.9.8 carece de autorización y CSRF en su función de creación de páginas, lo que permite a usuarios no autenticados crear páginas de registro, inicio de sesión y edición de perfil desde el complemento en el blog.

The Profile Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized page creation due to a missing capability check on the wppb_create_form_pages() function called via an admin_init action in versions up to, and including, 3.9.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger the initial page creation to support the plugin.
