CVE-2026-111982 Details
Description
The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 4.0.5 does not verify that a user is authorized to edit the specific account selected on its front-end Edit Profile form, allowing an Administrator of a Multisite subsite to change any other user's account email, including a Network Super Admin's, and take over that account through the password-reset flow.
A vulnerability in the User Profile Builder WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.0.5, allows an Administrator of a Multisite subsite to unauthorizedly change the email addresses of other users, including Network Super Admins. This could lead to account takeover through the password-reset process. The issue arises because the plugin's front-end Edit Profile form does not properly verify if a user has the right to edit the selected account.
