DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Profile Builder plugin
for WordPress, where some have unknown impacts and another can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

access to the change password functionality and change the password
of an arbitrary user.

known.

also be affected.
2) Some unspecified errors exist. No further information is currently
available.
This vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.1.25.
