Summary

CVE-2024-10508 is a critical-severity Improper Handling of Missing Values (CWE-230) vulnerability in Metagauss Registrationmagic. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 29% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

The RegistrationMagic – User Registration Plugin with Custom Registration Forms for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions through 6.0.2.6. The root cause is insufficient validation of password reset tokens in the login controller before allowing a password update, which permits modification of any user account including administrators.

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the flaw over the network by supplying a crafted or absent token to reset arbitrary passwords, thereby gaining full access to affected accounts. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 and is tracked under CWE-230.

A fix was committed in changeset 3181174 to the plugin's class_rm_login_controller.php, and Wordfence has published corresponding threat intelligence. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1533 with no material increase observed after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly requires checking that supplied parameters/fields have valid (non-missing) values before they are used.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect missing-value flaws but does not itself prevent them.
