Am I affected?

New User Approve new-user-approve

  1. Affected≤ 2.4
  2. Patched in2.4.1

Update to 2.4.1 or newer.

You are affected if you run ≤ 2.4. Version 2.4.1 and later are not affected by this issue.

  • Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under New User Approve.
  • No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
  • No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

  1. Update to version 2.4.1, or a newer patched version
  2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
  3. Watch New User Approve to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Daniel Ruf.

The New User Approve WordPress plugin before 2.4.1 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings and adding invitation codes, which could allow attackers to add invitation codes (for bypassing the provided restrictions) and to change plugin settings by tricking admin users into visiting specially crafted websites.
