What the vulnerability does

01Description

The New User Approve plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data and modification of data due to a missing capability check on multiple REST API endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to approve or deny user accounts, retrieve sensitive user information including emails and roles, and force logout of privileged users.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

New User Approve versions 3.2.2 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive data, modify content, or disrupt service. The vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction. Site administrators should update immediately to a version newer than 3.2.2.
