CVE-2026-123659 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-11-11

Technical details

The plugin fails to properly validate and restrict the role and user meta filters that member directories accept, allowing unauthenticated users to bypass administrator-configured access controls. An attacker can craft requests with arbitrary filter parameters to enumerate hidden user accounts and retrieve user meta values. The vulnerability affects the member directory functionality and requires only network access, with no authentication or user interaction needed.
