  • Aug 5, 2026The Membership Plugin – Kadence Memberships plugin for WordPress (formerly Restrict Content) is vulnerable to password reset link poisoning leading to account tCVE-2026-9273 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.3

    The Membership Plugin – Kadence Memberships plugin for WordPress (formerly Restrict Content) is vulnerable to password reset link poisoning leading to account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.0. This is due to the legacy lost-password handler rc_process_lost_password_form() consuming the attacker-controlled rc_redirect POST parameter into two unvalidated sinks in legacy/includes/forms.php: wp_redirect( esc_url( $_POST['rc_redirect'] ) . ... ) at line 243, and add_query_arg( array( 'key' => $key, 'login' => ... ), $_POST['rc_redirect'] ) inside rc_send_password_reset_email() at line 306. The nonce required to reach the handler is broadcast by the public [login_form] shortcode at line 207 to any anonymous visitor. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to issue a password-reset request for any account (including administrators) whose reset email body points the victim at an attacker-controlled host carrying a valid reset key/login. When the victim clicks the link, the reset key leaks to the attacker, who can replay it against the legitimate site to complete account takeover.

    The ElementsKit Elementor Addons WordPress plugin before 3.10.01 does not sanitize or escape certain megamenu menu-item settings before storing them and outputting them on the front end, and does not require the unfiltered_html capability to save them, allowing users with administrative capabilities to store malicious JavaScript; on a multisite network this lets a non-super subsite Administrator, who is denied unfiltered_html, plant a stored Cross-Site Scripting payload that executes in the sessions of the network Super Admin and site visitors.

    The Fluent Forms WordPress plugin before 6.2.6 does not sanitise and escape one of its form field configuration settings before outputting it inside an inline script when a form is rendered, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor (with delegated form-management permission, and therefore lacking the unfiltered_html capability, e.g. in a multisite setup) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the browser of any visitor who loads the form, including administrators previewing it.

  • Jul 28, 2026WordPress Coding Standards is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) that enforce WordPress coding conventions.CVE-2026-45293 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by GitHubHigh 8.6

    WordPress Coding Standards is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) that enforce WordPress coding conventions. From 0.14.1 until 3.4.1, the WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResourceParameters sniff (active in the WordPress and WordPress-Extra rulesets) reconstructed the $ver argument passed to functions such as wp_enqueue_script() and ran it through eval() inside its is_falsy() method, so a maliciously crafted argument such as 'system'('id') would execute during a scan; as a result, running PHPCS with WordPressCS over untrusted PHP (for example a CI pipeline that lints pull requests, or a developer reviewing third-party code) could lead to arbitrary command execution on the scanning host. The WordPress-Core and WordPress-Docs rulesets are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.1.

    Fixed in
    3.4.1
    What to do
    Update the plugin to 3.4.1 or newer.
