CVE-2026-7761 Details
Description
The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Account Takeover via Password Reset Link Disclosure in all versions up to and including 2.11.4. This is due to a chain of three logic bugs: (1) an MD5 hash fallback in get_directory_by_hash() that allows any post to be used as a member directory by computing SUBSTRING(MD5(post_id), 11, 5), (2) a strstr() parsing logic flaw in post_data() that allows bypassing WordPress's protected meta key restrictions by placing '_um_' anywhere in the meta key name rather than at the start, and (3) missing field name validation in build_user_card_data() that allows arbitrary field names including 'password_reset_link' to be passed to um_filtered_value(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to create a malicious post via XMLRPC with crafted meta fields, use the MD5 fallback to point the member directory AJAX handler to their post, inject 'password_reset_link' into the tagline_fields configuration, and leak live password reset URLs for all users in the member directory response, including administrators.
A vulnerability in the Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress, present in all versions up to and including 2.11.4, allows for account takeover through the unauthorized disclosure of password reset links. This issue arises from a combination of three logic flaws: (1) an MD5 hash fallback in the 'get_directory_by_hash' function, which permits any post to be designated as a member directory by manipulating the post ID, (2) a flaw in the 'post_data' function's parsing logic that bypasses WordPress's meta key protections, and (3) a lack of validation in the 'build_user_card_data' function, which enables the injection of arbitrary field names, including 'password_reset_link', into the response. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to create a malicious post with crafted meta fields, use the MD5 fallback to direct the member directory AJAX handler to their post, inject 'password_reset_link' into the response, and obtain live password reset URLs for all users in the member directory, including administrators.
