Technical details
The UsersWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in versions up to and including 1.2.63. The vulnerability exists within the image reset functionality due to missing validation on the 'user_id' parameter. An authenticated attacker with editor-level permissions or higher can manipulate this parameter to clear 'avatar_thumb' or 'banner_thumb' metadata in the 'uwp_usermeta' table for any arbitrary user ID. This allows for the permanent deletion of profile images belonging to other users, including site administrators. The issue was addressed in version 1.2.64 by improving authorization checks and nonce validation.
Affected products
