Summary

The User Profile Builder plugin for WordPress up to version 3.15.5 is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in the wppb_save_avatar_value() function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above can reassign ownership of arbitrary posts and attachments by changing 'post_author'.

Risk Assessment

Risk of unauthorized content ownership changes, potentially leading to control over posts and attachments.

Recommendation

Update the User Profile Builder plugin to a version later than 3.15.5.
