Descriptions

The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 5.1.4 due to insufficient restriction on the 'userpro_update_user_profile' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to modify their user role by supplying the 'wp_capabilities' parameter during a profile update.

El complemento UserPro para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en versiones hasta la 5.1.4 incluida debido a una restricción insuficiente en la función 'userpro_update_user_profile'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con permisos mínimos, como un suscriptor, modifiquen su rol de usuario proporcionando el parámetro 'wp_capabilities' durante una actualización de perfil.

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.
