Unauthenticated settings modification via unchecked export-field write
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Authorization bypass in Saad Iqbal User Management for WordPress 1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter export settings. The export-field settings handler writes request-controlled field mappings to the uiewp_export_field option without checking administrator capability or a nonce. No account or user interaction is required; the change can include password hashes in later CSV exports and remap columns during imports.
