Redux Framework # CVE-2025-14123

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2025-14123
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Oct 09, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.11. This is due to the plugin saving arbitrary meta keys under a registered option name without sufficient capability checks or key allowlist / restrictions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to set an arbitrary role (e.g., Administrator) when performing a profile update if a plugin or theme using this framework has added at least one user profile field that leverages Redux_Users::set_profile/set_section/set_field.
Affected versions: max 4.5.13.
Status: vulnerable

Redux Framework # CVE-2026-90992

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-90992
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Oct 01, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via User Meta Merge via 'user-mediaurl' Media Field in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.14 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. This is exploitable by Subscriber-level users who can store a payload in user meta fields such as the biography, session_tokens (via a crafted User-Agent at login), or persisted_preferences (via the REST API), which are then promoted to the site-wide redux_demo option when a media URL repair is triggered on the demo panel.
Affected versions: max 4.5.15.
Status: vulnerable

Redux Framework # CVE-2026-88999

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-88999
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Oct 01, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.14 This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary media library attachments, including administrator-owned files, from the affected site. This is exploitable by Subscribers when a Custom Fonts field is registered on the user profile page via Redux_Users::set_profile(), as doing so causes the required redux_custom_fonts nonce to be rendered into the Subscriber's wp-admin/profile.php page.
Affected versions: max 4.5.15.
Status: vulnerable

Redux Framework # CVE-2026-5400

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-5400
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Sep 19, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Media field filter values in versions up to, and including, 4.5.13 This is due to insufficient input sanitization of nested array values in the user_meta_save() function and unsafe output of filter CSS values in the render() function without proper 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.
Affected versions: max 4.5.14.
Status: vulnerable

Redux Framework # CVE-2026-5410

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-5410
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Sep 19, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the spinner field in versions up to, and including, 4.5.13 This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. In the user_meta_save() function scalar values bypass the sanitization logic that only processes arrays, allowing the spinner field value to be stored in user meta without proper sanitization. Later, at line 56 of class-redux-spinner.php in the render() function, this value is rendered in an unquoted HTML attribute without escaping via '$data_string .= ' data-val=' . $this->value;'. 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.
Affected versions: max 4.5.14.
Status: vulnerable

Redux Framework # CVE-2026-5399

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-5399
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Sep 10, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Slider field in User Profile settings in versions up to and including 4.5.13.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the user_meta_save() function (which only sanitizes array values, not scalar values) and improper output escaping in the Redux_Slider::render() method, which outputs slider values into unquoted HTML attributes. The vulnerability also exploits the fact that the clean_default() method only casts values to numeric types when they are empty or out of bounds, allowing malicious strings like '1 tabindex=0 autofocus onfocus=alert(1) x=' to pass validation through PHP's loose type comparison. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts into their user profile that will execute whenever an Administrator navigates to view the attacker's profile page.
Affected versions: max 4.5.14.
Status: vulnerable

Redux Framework # CVE-2026-12525

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-12525
Home page URL: Security reports for Redux Framework
Application: Redux Framework
Date: Jul 16, 2026
Research Description: The Redux Framework WordPress plugin before 4.5.13 does not restrict which user meta keys can be written when saving custom profile fields, allowing users with at least the Subscriber role to escalate their privileges to Administrator by submitting a crafted value while updating their own profile, on sites where the Redux Framework WordPress plugin before 4.5.13's user-profile (Users extension) feature is enabled.
Affected versions: max 4.5.13.
Status: vulnerable
