Technical details

The WP User Frontend plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to broken access control due to missing authorization (CWE-862) in versions up to and including 4.3.7. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass intended access restrictions and execute functions that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. The flaw stems from a lack of proper validation of user permissions or nonce tokens. Attackers can exploit this over the network without any user interaction. A fix is available in version 4.3.8.
