CVE-2026-96574 Details
Description
The User Frontend – Membership, User Registration, User Profile, User Directory & Content Restriction with Frontend Post Submission plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpuf_payment_method' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.12 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. The bypass technique involves appending a valid gateway keyword such as 'bank' to the HTML payload, causing sanitize_text_field() to yield only the keyword for routing purposes while the full malicious raw value is stored and later rendered unescaped.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the User Frontend WordPress plugin, specifically in versions through 4.3.12. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. The vulnerability is exploited by appending a valid gateway keyword to the HTML payload, tricking the plugin's sanitization function while preserving the malicious content, which is later executed when the page is accessed.
Users are advised to update the User Frontend WordPress plugin to version 4.3.13 or a newer patched version.
