## Affected

- Unknown Youzify – BuddyPress Community, User Profile, Social Network & Membership Plugin for WordPress: from 1.0.7, fixed in 1.0.7

## Description

This could allow a low privilege user to gain unauthorised access to the admin side of the blog by targeting an admin, inducing them to view their profile with a malicious payload adding a rogue account for example.
