Descriptions

The User Registration – Custom Registration Form, Login Form, and User Profile WordPress Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the form_save_action() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update the registration form and make the default registration role administrator. This subsequently allows the attacker to register an account as an administrator on the site.

El complemento User Registration – Custom Registration Form, Login Form, and User Profile WordPress Plugin para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función form_save_action() en todas las versiones hasta la 3.1.5 incluida. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, actualicen el formulario de registro y conviertan el rol de registro predeterminado en administrador. Posteriormente, esto permite al atacante registrar una cuenta como administrador en el sitio.
