DescriptionCVE.org

The User Profile Builder - Beautiful User Registration Forms, User Profiles & User Role Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Biographical Info' meta field parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.15.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in the User Profile Builder WordPress plugin (Cozmoslabs, versions ≤3.15.7) permits unauthenticated attackers to inject persistent JavaScript payloads via the 'Biographical Info' registration field, which execute in any visitor's browser upon viewing the affected profile page. The vulnerability is rooted in missing input sanitization and output escaping in class-formbuilder.php and class-email-confirmation.php, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or malicious redirects targeting administrators and other authenticated users. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The User Profile Builder plugin must be installed and active, and the WordPress site must have open user registration enabled (allowing unauthenticated visitors to submit registration forms that include the Biographical Info field). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) captures the network-accessible, unauthenticated injection vector and scope change, but the UI:N metric is inconsistent with stored XSS behavior: a victim must actively visit the injected profile page, which maps to UI:R in standard CVSS 3.1 guidance. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update User Profile Builder to the version incorporating WordPress.org SVN changeset 3511465 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3511465), which applies the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes in class-formbuilder.php and class-email-confirmation.php. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
