The User Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure due to hardcoded encryption key on the lock_content_form_handler and display_password_form function in versions up to, and including, 3.7.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to decrypt and view the password protected content.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |

| Embedpress | Wpdeveloper | * | 3.7.3 (including) |
