AI-suggested

Upgrade the User Frontend WordPress plugin to version 4.3.12 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the sodium PHP extension presence affects exploitability, enabling this extension may mitigate risk but upgrading is the recommended action. No other mitigations are indicated.

Description

The User Frontend WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.3.12 contain a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated users to manipulate the role assigned during registration. This flaw permits registration with elevated roles such as Editor, but not Administrator. The issue occurs only when the PHP sodium extension is unavailable and a registration page is configured.
