CVE-2025-3924
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 PeproDev Ultimate Profile Solutions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data via its publicly exposed reset-password endpoint. The plugin looks up the 'valid_email' value based solely on a supplied username parameter, without verifying that the requester is associated with that user account. This allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate email addresses for any user, including administrators.
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 PeproDev Ultimate Profile Solutions WordPress plugin has an insecure password reset endpoint that validates users based solely on a username parameter without verifying the requester's identity. This allows unauthenticated attackers to submit arbitrary usernames and retrieve associated email addresses, enabling email enumeration for all user accounts including administrators.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for PeproDev Ultimate Profile Solutions in the listAffected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list and is activated
-
Check the installed versionClick on the plugin in the Plugins list to view its version number, then compare it against any known affected versionsAffected if The installed version falls within an affected version range if one exists, or the version is unknown/older than patched releases
-
Identify if password reset functionality existsLocate the plugin settings or files related to password reset; look for endpoints that handle username-based password reset requestsAffected if The plugin exposes any password reset or account recovery functionality
-
Test endpoint response behaviorSend a request to the password reset endpoint with a valid username and observe if an email address is returned without requiring identity verificationAffected if The endpoint returns user email addresses or confirms user existence without the requester proving ownership of the account
-
Check for missing authentication checksReview the plugin code or endpoint behavior to verify whether the password reset process requires the requester to confirm identity (such as clicking a verification link sent to the actual email)Affected if The endpoint accepts arbitrary usernames and returns information without any identity verification step
A user is affected if the PeproDev Ultimate Profile Solutions plugin is installed and its password reset endpoint returns email addresses or validates usernames without requiring the requester to prove account ownership.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataThe plugin vendor should implement proper authentication checks requiring the requester to prove ownership of the account before returning email information, and add rate limiting to prevent automated enumeration attacks. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling the affected endpoint or using a WAF rule to block suspicious password reset requests.
