Access violation vulnerability in Profile Builder – User Profile & User Registration Forms 2.4.1

  • Severity: high-risk
  • Status: Fixed
  • Publication: July 7, 2016

The Profile Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a security issue known as Privilege Escalation. This means that if you have version 2.4.0 or earlier of the plugin installed, someone with only subscriber-level access could gain administrative control of your website. This affects any website that has registration enabled, which is most sites that use the Profile Builder plugin.
