Exploitation Conditions

The target WordPress site must have the User Registration & Membership plugin installed, active, and at version 5.1.4 or earlier - the plugin's logout handler must be processing the redirect_to_on_logout GET parameter, which is enabled by default when the plugin is active. The victim must be authenticated (have an active WordPress session) at the moment the crafted URL is clicked, since the logout-and-redirect sequence only executes against a live session. No attacker authentication or elevated privileges are required - the malicious URL is constructed entirely externally. Exploitation is limited by the required active user interaction (UI:R per CVSS): the victim must click a specifically crafted link, making fully automated mass exploitation impractical and consistent with SSVC's 'Automatable: no' rating. The attack has no dependency on server configuration beyond plugin activation.

Impact

CVSS 6.1 (Medium) with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N correctly characterizes the network exposure and changed scope, but real-world priority signals are consistently lower than the score implies. EPSS at 0.03% (7th percentile) reflects negligible observed exploitation probability across the vulnerability population. CISA SSVC rates exploitation as 'none', the attack as non-automatable, and technical impact as 'partial' - meaning automated mass exploitation is not considered feasible and no confirmed active exploitation exists. The vulnerability does not appear in CISA KEV. The mandatory user interaction (UI:R) - a victim must click a socially-engineered logout link while authenticated - is the primary limiting factor, making this a phishing-amplification primitive rather than a direct exploit. The publicly available POC slightly elevates risk above baseline, but combined signals indicate this is a patch-on-next-cycle issue for most organizations rather than an emergency response priority.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker constructs a URL such as https://victim-site.com/?ur_logout=true&redirect_to_on_logout=https://attacker-phishing-site.com and distributes it via email, forum post, or embedded link. A logged-in WordPress user who clicks the link is silently logged out by the plugin and immediately redirected to the attacker-controlled domain, where they may be presented with a convincing replica of the login page to harvest credentials. A publicly available POC confirms this redirect behavior is exploitable as described.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 24, 2026

Open redirect in the WPEverest User Registration & Membership WordPress plugin (versions ≤5.1.4) enables attackers to abuse the logout flow as a phishing vector by supplying an arbitrary external URL via the redirect_to_on_logout GET parameter. The plugin passes this parameter directly to WordPress's unrestricted wp_redirect() instead of the domain-enforcing wp_safe_redirect(), and the esc_url_raw() sanitization applied only strips malformed URL syntax - it imposes no domain allowlist. A publicly available POC demonstrates the redirect behavior; however, EPSS is very low (0.03%, 7th percentile) and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as 'none' with non-automatable impact, indicating no observed mass exploitation at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

The definitive fix requires updating the User Registration & Membership plugin to a version beyond 5.1.4 once WPEverest releases a patched build - no specific patched version number has been confirmed in available data at time of analysis. The upstream code change needed is replacing the wp_redirect() call with wp_safe_redirect() in includes/functions-ur-template.php line 39; security teams can verify the fix is present by inspecting this file in any candidate update. If immediate upgrade is not possible, administrators can implement a WAF rule to strip or reject requests containing external hostnames in the redirect_to_on_logout parameter - this has no impact on normal logout flows since the parameter is only meaningful for post-logout redirection. The Wordfence security plugin (free tier) may also provide a virtual patch for this specific parameter. Disabling the logout redirect feature entirely via plugin settings, if the option exists, eliminates the attack surface with no functional impact for most deployments.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This is a CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) flaw rooted in WordPress's dual redirect API: wp_safe_redirect() validates the destination against an allowlist of permitted hosts (defaulting to the local site), while wp_redirect() performs no domain restriction. The plugin's includes/functions-ur-template.php (line 39, confirmed in both the tagged 5.1.4 source and the trunk branch via Trac references) calls wp_redirect() with the redirect_to_on_logout GET parameter after applying only esc_url_raw(), which is designed to produce a safe URL string for database or header use - not to enforce same-origin constraints. A well-formed HTTPS URL to an attacker-controlled domain therefore passes through unmodified. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:wpeverest:user_registration_&_membership_... covering all versions from 0 through 5.1.4, as confirmed by NVD and EUVD (EUVD-2026-22135).

DescriptionCVE.org

The User Registration & Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in versions up to and including 5.1.4. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs passed via the 'redirect_to_on_logout' GET parameter before redirecting users. The redirect_to_on_logout GET parameter is passed directly to WordPress's wp_redirect() function instead of the domain-restricted wp_safe_redirect(). While esc_url_raw() is applied to sanitize malformed URLs, it does not restrict the redirect destination to the local domain, allowing an attacker to craft a specially formed link that redirects users to potentially malicious external URLs after logout, which could be used to facilitate phishing attacks.
