CVE-2018-10233
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe User Profile & Membership plugin before 2.0.7 for WordPress has no mitigations implemented against cross site request forgery attacks. This is a structural finding throughout the entire plugin.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe User Profile & Membership plugin for WordPress versions before 2.0.7 lacks CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) token validation or any other anti-CSRF mechanisms. This structural vulnerability allows attackers to craft malicious requests that trick authenticated administrators or users into performing unintended actions such as modifying user profiles, changing membership settings, or elevating privileges.
