Vulnerability Overview

The WPFront User Role Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.1.11184 via the wpfront_user_role_editor_assign_roles_user_autocomplete AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract retrieve a list of all user email addresses who are registered on the site.

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.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in WPFront User Role Editor <= 3.2.1.11184 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. 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 WPFront User Role Editor the fix is 4.1.0: builds <= 3.2.1.11184 are affected, anything from 4.1.0 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 4.1.0, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: WPFront User Role Editor 4.1.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
