Upstream source description

The WP User Frontend WordPress plugin before 4.3.12 does not enforce its subscription-purchase requirement in one of its post-creation handlers, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to create and, depending on the form's configuration, immediately publish posts through forms restricted to paying subscribers.
