CVE-2026-5076

Low risk34th percentile - higher than 34% of all known CVEs
Summary
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress up to version 7.3.1 stores a plaintext password reset key in the `arm_reset_password_key` user meta field. Combined with other vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL Injection), this allows an attacker to take over any user account, including administrators.
Risk Assessment
The risk is critical – an unauthenticated attacker can compromise an administrator account, leading to full site takeover and potential access to sensitive data.
Recommendation
Immediately update the ARMember Premium plugin to the latest version (above 7.3.1) and audit the database for any leaked plaintext reset keys.
Original NVD description (English source)
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an insecure password reset mechanism in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. The plugin stores a plaintext copy of the password reset key in the `arm_reset_password_key` user meta field when a user requests a password reset. This is in addition to the hashed key that WordPress core stores securely in `wp_users.user_activation_key`. The plaintext key stored in `wp_usermeta` can be used with the plugin's custom `armrp` reset action to set a new password for any user. Combined with another vulnerability such as SQL Injection (CVE-2026-5073, CVE-2026-5074), this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the plaintext reset key and take over any user account, including administrators.
