Description

The UserPlus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.0 due to insufficient restriction on the &#39;form_actions&#39; and &#39;userplus_update_user_profile&#39; functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to specify their user role by supplying the &#39;role&#39; parameter during a registration.
