Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions User Registration WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.12

Description The issue allows users with at least the contributor role to render sensitive shortcodes, which can be used to generate and leak valid password reset URLs. This enables them to take over any accounts.
