Description

The User Registration, User Profile, Login & Membership – ProfilePress (Formerly WP User Avatar) WordPress plugin before 3.1.11's widget for tabbed login/register was not properly escaped and could be used in an XSS attack which could lead to wp-admin access. Further, the plugin in several places assigned $_POST as $_GET which meant that in some cases this could be replicated with just $_GET parameters and no need for $_POST values.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

  • Unknown User Registration, User Profile, Login & Membership – ProfilePress (Formerly WP User Avatar) — From 3.1.11 (including) to 3.1.11 (excluding)
  • properfraction profilepress — Before 3.1.11
