CVE-2023-2437: UserPro <= 5.1.1 - Authentication Bypass

id: CVE-2023-2437

info:
  name: UserPro <= 5.1.1 - Authentication Bypass
  author: intelligent-ears
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The UserPro plugin for WordPress through 5.1.1 allows authentication bypass via the userpro_fbconnect AJAX action.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication by exploiting the Facebook connect AJAX action with arbitrary user IDs, potentially gaining full administrative access to the WordPress site and all user accounts.
  remediation: |
    Update UserPro plugin to a version newer than 5.1.1 that properly validates authentication in the userpro_fbconnect AJAX action.
