An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-16562 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16562/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16562/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16562","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16562/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16562","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xpmm-8f6x-vcw6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication and gain administrative access in UserPro plugin if the site uses the default 'admin' username.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"userpro","vendor":"userproplugin"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The UserPro plugin before 4.9.17.1 for WordPress, when used on a site with the \"admin\" username, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain administrative access via a \"true\" value for the up_auto_log parameter in the QUERY_STRING to the default URI.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-11-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-11-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"43117","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Plugin Userpro \u003c 4.9.17.1 - Authentication Bypass"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16562","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16563"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16561"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress UserPro plugin \u003c= 5.1.8 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-35700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.1 - Authentication Bypass to Administrator","id":"CVE-2023-2437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.1 - Insecure Password Reset Mechanism","id":"CVE-2023-2449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-2440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2023-2497","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"UserPro \u003c= 5.1.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-6009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication and gain administrative access in UserPro plugin if the site uses the default 'admin' username.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16562/"}
