Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the "Allow User Self-Registration" setting and create arbitrary users. This is achieved by setting the mode parameter to "confirm" in the register.php file.

Recommendations For version 1.04e, consider restricting access to the register.php file until a patch is available, or disable the self-registration feature altogether to prevent exploitation. Avoid using the mode parameter with the value "confirm" in the register.php file until the issue is resolved.
