Last modified
CVE-2024-2417 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The User Registration – Custom Registration Form, Login Form, and User Profile WordPress Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the form_save_action() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.5.

EPSS estimates a 0.94% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
