Stored XSS via unescaped profile field values
Published Jan 15, 2026 · Updated Jan 15, 2026
Stored XSS in WP-Members 3.5.4.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through profile fields. The Multiple Checkbox and Multiple Select profile-field paths persist attacker-controlled values and later render them without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and execution occurs in another user's browser when that user opens a page displaying the injected profile data.
