Users should verify if the PHP 'openssl' extension is enabled on their servers, as the vulnerability requires its absence to be exploitable. Monitor the vendor's advisory for updates and apply official patches once available. Until then, consider disabling or restricting access to the plugin or applying compensating controls to limit exposure.
Description
The Frontend Admin by DynamiApps plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to improper missing encryption exception handling on the 'fea_encrypt' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.19.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the user processing forms, which can be used to add and edit administrator user for privilege escalation, or to automatically log in users for authentication bypass, or manipulate the post processing form that can be used to inject arbitrary web scripts. This can only be exploited if the 'openssl' php extension is not loaded on the server.
