Overview

The ProfilePress Pro plugin for WordPress contains an authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2024-9947) affecting all versions up to and including 4.11.1. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Wordfence, with the initial disclosure on October 23, 2024 (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified under CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) and CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions) (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, including administrators, if they have access to the email and the user does not have an already-existing account for the service returning the token. This could lead to complete site compromise through unauthorized administrative access (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds
