CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The ProfilePress WordPress plugin prior to version 4.17.1 is vulnerable due to its failure to sanitize shortcodes in profile fields, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute malicious shortcodes on public pages. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive user information, including email addresses and registration details. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

The ProfilePress WordPress plugin before 4.17.1 does not strip shortcodes from two of its profile fields before rendering them on public pages, allowing unauthenticated attackers to store shortcodes that are then executed when the page is viewed, disclosing a chosen user's email address, login and registration date.
