The UserPro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 5.1.1. This is due to the plugin using native password reset functionality, with insufficient validation on the password reset function (userpro_process_form). The function uses the plaintext value of a password reset key instead of a hashed value which means it can easily be retrieved and subsequently used. An attacker can leverage CVE-2023-2448 and CVE-2023-2446, or another vulnerability like SQL Injection in another plugin or theme installed on the site to successfully exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2023-2449 is a critical severity with CVSS 9.8 SQL Injection issue affecting the Plugin UserPro - Community and User Profile WordPress Plugin. It affects Versions up to 5.1.1 and is fixed in 5.1.2.
CVE-2023-2449 is tracked for the Plugin UserPro - Community and User Profile WordPress Plugin as critical severity with CVSS 9.8. The affected range is Versions up to 5.1.1. Update UserPro - Community and User Profile WordPress Plugin to 5.1.2 or newer where that version is compatible with the site.
