Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions User Registration plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.7.3

Description The issue is related to Sensitive Information Exposure due to a hardcoded encryption key in the lock content form handler and display password form functions. This allows unauthenticated attackers to decrypt and view password-protected content.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 3.7.3, consider disabling the lock content form handler and display password form functions as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to password-protected content to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
