CVE-2026-1779 PUBLISHED

User Registration & Membership <= 5.1.2 - Authentication Bypass

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 02.02.2026 Published: 26.02.2026 Updated: 26.02.2026

The User Registration & Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to incorrect authentication in the 'register_member' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in a newly registered user on the site who has the 'urm_user_just_created' user meta set.
