Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions UserPlus plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.0

Description The issue arises from an improper capability check on the save metabox form function, allowing authenticated attackers with editor-level permissions or above to update the registration form role to administrator. This leads to privilege escalation, enabling unauthorized modification of data.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.0, consider disabling the save metabox form function until a patch is available to prevent unauthorized data modification and privilege escalation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
