Vulnerability Overview
The WP Register Profile With Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.2 via the 'rp_user_data' shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data from user meta like hashed passwords, usernames, and more.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
WP Register Profile With Shortcode <= 3.6.2 carries this weakness at rp_user_data, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For WP Register Profile With Shortcode the fix is 3.6.3: builds <= 3.6.2 are affected, anything from 3.6.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.6.3, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
