Redux Framework
Monthly
Privilege escalation in the Redux Framework WordPress plugin before 4.5.13 allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to become Administrators by writing arbitrary user meta keys through the plugin's custom profile fields, on sites where the Users extension (user-profile feature) is enabled. Because the plugin does not restrict which user meta keys are written when saving custom profile fields, an attacker can inject the wp_capabilities meta to grant themselves the administrator role. Publicly available exploit code exists (published by WPScan), though EPSS remains low at 0.14% and there is no evidence of active exploitation.
Stored XSS in Redux Framework (WordPress plugin) through version 4.5.13.1 allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to inject arbitrary JavaScript into their user profile Slider field, which then executes in an Administrator's browser when the admin views that profile. Three compounding weaknesses enable this: the `user_meta_save()` function skips sanitization of scalar (non-array) values, the `Redux_Slider::render()` method writes slider values into unquoted HTML attributes without escaping, and PHP loose-type comparison in `clean_default()` permits crafted strings like `1 tabindex=0 autofocus onfocus=alert(1) x=` to pass numeric validation. Vendor-released patch 4.5.14 was published September 07, 2026; no public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) is confirmed at time of analysis.
