CVE-2025-12778Network attack vector

Unauthenticated user metadata disclosure via unchecked filtering

Published Nov 20, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in Ultimate Member Widgets for Elementor 2.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to read WordPress user metadata. The handle_filter_users function processes unauthenticated filter requests without a capability check and returns users' first names, last names, and email addresses. No account or user interaction is required, and the disclosed data is limited to those partial profile fields rather than passwords or write access.
