Severity ?
7.2 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
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.
