DescriptionCVE.org

The WP User Manager - User Profile Builder & Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.17 via the (profile template scope) function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

AnalysisAI

Local File Inclusion in the WP User Manager WordPress plugin (versions through 2.9.17) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server via the profile tab query parameter. The flaw stems from missing validation of the tab value before it is passed to the profile template loader, enabling path traversal to any PHP file the web server can read. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the WP User Manager plugin installed and activated at version 2.9.17 or earlier, and that the plugin's profile pages are reachable over the network (the default deployment, since profiles are public-facing). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N reflects an unauthenticated, low-complexity network attack with high confidentiality impact only, hence the 7.5 base score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP GET request to a public profile URL with a manipulated `tab` parameter such as `?tab=../../../../wp-config` to coerce the template loader into including an arbitrary PHP file on the server, exposing database credentials or other sensitive code. If the same WordPress instance permits user uploads that can be stored with a `.php` extension (e.g., misconfigured avatar/media handling), the attacker first uploads a webshell, then references it via the traversal-controlled include to obtain full remote code execution as the web server user. …
Remediation Upstream fix available (PR https://github.com/WPUserManager/wp-user-manager/pull/445); a released patched version greater than 2.9.17 is not independently confirmed in the provided data, so administrators should monitor the plugin's WordPress.org listing and install the next release that incorporates the tab-validation change. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
