Admin-level code execution via unchecked callback invocation
Published Nov 29, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Code injection in Ultimate Member 2.5.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to execute PHP functions. The populate_dropdown_options function passes an administrator-supplied callback name to call_user_func without restricting it to safe callbacks. Exploitation requires WordPress administrative privileges and is limited to PHP functions that take no arguments, such as phpinfo().
