CWE-639 — Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

This CVE was published Jun 18, 2026 and is one of 17 known issues for this plugin.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

No fixed release is identified. Update UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WP when a release after 1.2.63 becomes available; until then, disable and remove it when the site's risk warrants. The official upstream changelog lists version 1.2.71, which is newer than the published affected range. Its changelog does not clearly confirm this specific fix, so it is not counted as a known-safe release.

No confirmed safe version is listed. Consider a vendor-supported patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality while you assess the risk.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Source record

Technical description

The UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.63 via the 'user_id' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to reset and permanently delete the avatar or banner image of any arbitrary user, including administrators, by clearing their avatar_thumb or banner_thumb metadata in the uwp_usermeta table.
