Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Ultimate Member plugin <= 2.6.0 versions.

The Ultimate Member WordPress plugin before 2.6.7 does not prevent visitors from creating user accounts with arbitrary capabilities, effectively allowing attackers to create administrator accounts at will. This is actively being exploited in the wild.

The JobBoardWP WordPress plugin before 1.2.2 does not properly validate file names and types in its file upload functionalities, allowing unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary files such as PHP.

The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in versions up to, and including, 2.5.0 via the getoptionvaluefromcallback function that accepts user supplied input and passes it through calluserfunc(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrative capabilities, to execute code on the server.

The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in versions up to, and including, 2.5.0 via the populatedropdownoptions function that accepts user supplied input and passes it through calluserfunc().

The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to directory traversal in versions up to, and including 2.5.0 due to insufficient input validation on the 'template' attribute used in shortcodes. This makes it possible for attackers with administrative privileges to supply arbitrary paths using traversal (../../) to access and include files outside of the intended directory. If an attacker can successfully upload a php file then remote code execution via inclusion may also be possible. Note: for users with less than administrative capabilities, /wp-admin access needs to be enabled for that user in order for this to be exploitable by those users.

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Ultimate Member Plugin up to 2.5.0. This issue affects the function loadtemplate of the file includes/core/class-shortcodes.php of the component Template Handler. The manipulation of the argument tpl leads to pathname traversal.
