Technical details
The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an authentication bypass (CWE-288) in versions up to and including 3.1.0. The vulnerability stems from a broken authentication mechanism that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform actions that should be restricted to high-privileged users. By exploiting an alternate path or channel, an attacker can potentially escalate privileges to an administrator account. This vulnerability is highly automatable and requires no user interaction. A fix is available in version 3.1.1.
