CVE-2026-103962 Details
Description
The User Frontend – Membership, User Registration, User Profile, User Directory & Content Restriction with Frontend Post Submission plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'field_attr[required]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.13 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The nonce check on the wpuf_get_child_cat AJAX action is not an effective security barrier because the wpuf_nonce value is publicly localized to every anonymous visitor of any page containing a WPUF shortcode, making it freely harvestable by an unauthenticated attacker.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the User Frontend plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions through 4.3.13. The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'field_attr[required]' parameter. These injected scripts could be executed if the attacker successfully tricks a user into interacting with a compromised link. Additionally, the nonce check on the wpuf_get_child_cat AJAX action is ineffective, as the wpuf_nonce value is publicly accessible to all anonymous visitors on pages with a WPUF shortcode, making it easily exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker.
Users are advised to update the User Frontend plugin to version 4.3.14 or later.
