Admin-authenticated code execution via unrestricted callback dispatch
Published Nov 29, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Code injection in Ultimate Member 2.5.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with administrative access to execute server-side code. The get_option_value_from_callback function passes a user-controlled callback name to call_user_func without restricting it to approved callables. An administrator can reach the vulnerable multi-select field handling and invoke arbitrary PHP callbacks with the web server process privileges.
