CVE-2026-116621 Details
Description
The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'pm_note (any custom Textarea metakey with html disabled)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.14.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Successful exploitation requires a privileged victim to click the attacker-rendered anchor on the target profile page, which triggers the DOM gadget that concatenates the unescaped data-src value into an HTML string passed to jQuery.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin, specifically in versions through 2.14.1. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into profile pages. The injected scripts execute when a user views the affected profile, requiring a privileged user to click on an attacker-created link that activates the exploit.
Users are advised to update the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin to version 2.14.2 or later.
