Stored XSS via unescaped YouTube video URL
Published Dec 17, 2025 · Updated Dec 17, 2025
Stored XSS in Ultimate Member 2.11.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through a YouTube Video field. The um_profile_field_filter_hook__youtube_video() function stores user-supplied iframe URLs without sufficient sanitization and later emits them without adequate escaping. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and the script runs in a visitor's browser when the affected profile page is opened.
