CVE-2024-9518 Information

Description

The UserPlus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to and including 2.0 due to insufficient restriction on the ‘form_actions’ and ‘userplus_update_user_profile’ functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to specify their user role by supplying the ‘role’ parameter during a registration.
