Description
WordPress Plugin WP Frontend Profile is prone to multiple vulnerabilities, including cross-site scripting and privilege escalation vulnerabilities. Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site, allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks or to overwrite user meta data which results in a privilege escalation. WordPress Plugin WP Frontend Profile version 0.2.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
Remediation
Update to plugin version 0.2.2 or latest
