What is CVE-2026-12102?

The UsersWP plugin for WordPress is susceptible to an Insecure Direct Object Reference due to inadequate validation of the 'user_id' parameter. This vulnerability permits authenticated attackers with editor-level access or higher to manipulate user metadata, specifically enabling them to reset or permanently delete the avatar and banner images of any user, including those with administrative privileges. Attackers can achieve this by tampering with the avatar_thumb or banner_thumb metadata in the uwp_usermeta database table, posing significant risks to user profiles and site integrity.
