What is CVE-2023-2497?

The UserPro plugin for WordPress, up to version 5.1.0, is susceptible to a Cross-Site Request Forgery attack due to inadequate nonce validation in its 'import_settings' function. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate PHP Object Injection by exploiting the unserialize() function on user-supplied parameters. By tricking a site administrator into clicking a malicious link, an attacker can issue unauthorized requests, potentially compromising user data and site integrity.
