What is CVE-2026-3139?

The User Profile Builder plugin for WordPress is affected by an Insecure Direct Object Reference vulnerability, found in versions up to and including 3.15.5. The vulnerability exists within the wppb_save_avatar_value() function, which lacks proper validation of user-controlled input. This security issue allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to manipulate the 'post_author' key, enabling them to reassign ownership of arbitrary posts and attachments. As a result, this can lead to unauthorized access and potential content manipulation if left unaddressed.
