- CVE-2026-18345Medium
The WP User Manager plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 2.9.18 is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the Connect::complete() function. The function is registered on the admin_init hook and performs no current_user_can() or nonce verification before fetching Stripe credentials and writing them into the wpum_settings option. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can hijack the site's Stripe integration, routing all payments to their own Stripe account.
- CVE-2025-13320Medium
The WP User Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.12. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths in the profile update functionality combined with improper handling of array inputs by PHP's filter_input() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server via the 'current_user_avatar' parameter in a two-stage attack which can make remote code execution possible.
Original NVD description (English source)
The WP User Manager – User Profile Builder & Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.17 via the (profile template scope) function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files.
