Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Artus KG.

The Login & Register Customizer – Forms, Popup, Profile & WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
