CVE-2026-4261 Mar 21, 03:27 HIGH This Week

The Expire Users plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.2.2 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to elevate their privileges to administrator level. This occurs because the plugin improperly allows users to update the 'on_expire_default_to_role' meta field through the 'save_extra_user_profile_fields' function without proper authorization checks. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High severity), this represents a critical security issue for affected WordPress installations, though no active exploitation (KEV) or EPSS data has been reported at this time.
