CVE-2023-5134

What is CVE-2023-5134?

The Easy Registration Forms plugin for WordPress is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to expose sensitive user meta information. The vulnerability resides in the 'erforms_user_meta' shortcode, which due to inadequate safeguards, permits users with subscriber-level capabilities or higher to access arbitrary user meta data. This could potentially lead to the unauthorized retrieval of private or sensitive information, emphasizing the need for urgent updates to versions before 2.1.1 to ensure user data confidentiality.
