CVE-2026-19423 PUBLISHED

Ultimate Member 2.6.7 - 2.12.1 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Role Field on Profile Forms

Assigner: WPScan
Reserved: 10.08.2026 Published: 28.08.2026 Updated: 28.08.2026

The Ultimate Member WordPress plugin before 2.13.0 does not validate a submitted role selection when it cannot resolve the set of roles a profile form permits, and screens the value against the site's registered role names rather than against the form's own allow-list, allowing unauthenticated users who register through the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin before 2.13.0's own form to grant themselves arbitrary capabilities and reach administrator-equivalent access.
