AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Custom Column User Meta Profile Fields in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.29.7. This is due to the 'saveextrauserprofilefields' function not properly restricting which user meta keys can be updated via profile fields. The 'getrestrictedfields' method does not include sensitive meta keys such as 'wpcapabilities'. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to escalate their privileges to Administrator by submitting a crafted registration request that sets the 'wpcapabilities' meta key. The vulnerability can only be exploited if the "Show fields in profile" setting is enabled and a CSV with a wpcapabilities column header has been previously imported.
