Description

This module enables administrators to set unique registration paths per Profile2 profile type.

The module allows users to register even though a site is configured to prevent registration.

The module fails to filter some configuration text. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have the “Administer profiles” permission.
