Descriptions

The BuddyForms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Email Verification Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.9 via the use of an insufficiently random activation code. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the email verification.

El complemento BuddyForms para WordPress es vulnerable a la omisión de verificación de correo electrónico en todas las versiones hasta la 2.8.9 incluida mediante el uso de un código de activación insuficientemente aleatorio. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados omitan la verificación por correo electrónico.
