Research Description
User Profile Builder &#8211; Beautiful User Registration Forms, User Profiles &amp; User Role Editor [profile-builder] < 3.1.1 Profile Builder and Profile Builder Pro &lt; 3.1.1 - User Registration With Administrator Role The plugin is affected by a broken authentication vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated users to register or edit their account and gain the Administrator role using the plugin&#039;s forms. The vulnerability only exists in the Plugin&#039;s own generated Registration Form or Profile Edit Form. This means if the blog is using shortcode [wppb-register] or [wppb-edit-profile] then it is vulnerable. This is very obvious shortcode which holds the basic functionality of the plugin so admin must be using it 90% of time if installed. If blog isn&#039;t using [wppb-register] but using [wppb-edit-profile] then vulnerability is still valid if Registration is enabled. CVSS Score of the vulnerability is 9.
Affected versions
max 3.1.1.
Status
