What is CVE-2026-15016?

The Paid Memberships Pro plugin for WordPress, used for managing content restrictions, user registrations, and subscriptions, is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping processes related to the Readonly User Field accessed via the [pmpro_member_profile_edit] shortcode. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and higher can exploit this vulnerability, injecting arbitrary script content that executes when a user visits affected pages. It is crucial for users of affected versions to upgrade to the latest release to mitigate potential security risks.
