The vulnerability is rooted in missing input sanitization and output escaping in class-formbuilder.php and class-email-confirmation.php, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or malicious redirects targeting administrators and other authenticated users. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The User Profile Builder plugin must be installed and active, and the WordPress site must have open user registration enabled (allowing unauthenticated visitors to submit registration forms that include the Biographical Info field). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) captures the network-accessible, unauthenticated injection vector and scope change, but the UI:N metric is inconsistent with stored XSS behavior: a victim must actively visit the injected profile page, which maps to UI:R in standard CVSS 3.1 guidance. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
