Summary
The Front End Users WordPress plugin, a tool for managing user registration and member access on WordPress sites, is affected. An unauthenticated visitor can exploit the registration forms to grant themselves a higher membership level and mark their account as approved and paid, which lets them get past content restrictions and registration checks.
Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.
Read the original description
The Front End Users WordPress plugin through 3.2.35 does not restrict which account attributes a visitor may set when registering through its front-end forms, allowing unauthenticated users to assign themselves an arbitrary membership level and to mark their own account as approved, confirmed and paid, bypassing the Front End Users WordPress plugin through 3.2.35's content restrictions and its registration gating.
