What is CVE-2026-110523?
The WP User Manager plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.9.26 allows unauthenticated users to bypass payment restrictions intended for paid registrations. When the payment gateway is disconnected, existing configurations permit unauthorized access, enabling users to register and immediately gain privileged roles equivalent to an administrator. This flaw exposes sites to significant security risks as it undermines the integrity of user role assignments.
Affected Version(s)
WP User Manager 2.9.21 < 2.9.26
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
