AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in WP User Profile Avatar plugin for WordPress allows authenticated low-privilege users to access or modify profile avatar data without proper permission checks. Affects versions up to 1.0.6. No public exploit or active exploitation identified.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the WP User Profile Avatar plugin, which handles user avatar uploads and management in WordPress.

The CPE data indicates the affected product is the WordPress plugin 'wp-user-profile-avatar' version <= 1.0.6.
RemediationAI
Update the WP User Profile Avatar plugin to version 1.0.7 or later, as per the vendor advisory.
