Summary

CVE-2023-2437 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting versions of the UserPro plugin for WordPress up to and including 5.1.1.

The vulnerability may be chained with CVE-2023-2448 and CVE-2023-2446 to gain access to the necessary email addresses for successful exploitation. This security weakness poses a significant risk to WordPress sites running the UserPro plugin and urgently requires patching to mitigate the threat.
