CVE-2024-9519: Wpuserplus Userplus

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Wpuserplus Userplus: up to and including 2.0
