Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin, CVE-2025-14081

CVE, Research URL

CVE-2025-14081

Published on
Dec 18, 2025
Research Description
The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Profile Privacy Setting Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0. This is due to a flaw in the secure fields mechanism where field keys are stored in the allowed fields list before the `required_perm` check is applied during rendering. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to modify their profile privacy settings (e.g., setting profile to "Only me") via direct parameter manipulation, even when the administrator has explicitly disabled the option for their role.
Affected versions
max 2.11.1.
Status
vulnerable
