Technical details

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the user description field. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into their profile. These scripts execute in the context of any user viewing the profile page. The vulnerability is specifically exploitable when the 'HTML support for user description' setting is active. The issue was addressed in version 2.11.2 by deprecating HTML usage in user descriptions and refactoring form sanitization to use 'user_description' kses filters.
