CVE-2026-103997 Details
Description
The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.15. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to view the entire Redux options payload — including plaintext password field values, API keys, license keys, and SMTP credentials — exposed in the inline redux_<opt_name> JavaScript block on wp-admin/profile.php. The Users extension is loaded automatically for every Redux instance registered by any installed theme or plugin, meaning any site running Redux Framework is affected regardless of whether the developer explicitly configured the Users extension.
A vulnerability exists in the Redux Framework plugin for WordPress, allowing for authorization bypass in all versions through 4.5.15. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly verify user authorization for certain actions. This flaw enables authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to access the complete Redux options payload. Sensitive information such as plaintext passwords, API keys, license keys, and SMTP credentials is exposed in an inline JavaScript block on the profile administration page. The vulnerability is present on any site using the Redux Framework, regardless of whether the Users extension was explicitly activated, as this extension is automatically loaded for all Redux instances.
Users are advised to update the Redux Framework plugin to version 4.5.16 or a newer patched version.
