CVE-2024-9519 Information

Description

The UserPlus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an improper capability check on the ‘save_metabox_form’ function in versions up to and including 2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with editor-level permissions or above to update the registration form role to administrator which leads to privilege escalation.
