Vulnerability Overview

The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Security Feature Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.6. This is due to the use of client-side restrictions to enforce the 'Disabled registration' Membership feature within the plugin's General settings. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an account even when account registration has been disabled by an administrator.

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.1.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security) The product is composed of a server that relies on the client to implement a mechanism that is intended to protect the server.
