WordPress · User Profile Builder · CVE-2024-12738
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
User Profile Builder – Beautiful User Registration Forms, User Profiles & User Role Editor plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 3.12.9
**Description**
The issue is related to stored cross-site scripting, which occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of various user meta parameters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page and clicks a link to show user meta.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to and including 3.12.9, update to a version higher than 3.12.9 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to user meta parameters until a patch is available.
