CVE-2026-85680 Details
Description
The Ultimate Member WordPress plugin before 2.13.1 does not escape a value derived from user supplied profile names before outputting it in the page title, and decodes HTML entities in it after its own sanitisation has already run, allowing unauthenticated attackers who register an account to store JavaScript that will execute when any visitor, including an administrator, views their profile.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.13.1. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly escape values derived from user-supplied profile names before displaying them in the page title. Additionally, it decodes HTML entities after its own sanitization process, allowing unauthenticated attackers who register an account to inject JavaScript. This malicious script executes when any visitor, including administrators, views the user's profile.
Users are advised to update the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin to version 2.13.1 or later.
