Weakness
CWE-79 — Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

This CVE was published Sep 11, 2026 and is one of 17 known issues for this plugin.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

No fixed release is identified. Update WP-Members Membership Plugin when a release after 3.5.6 becomes available; until then, disable and remove it when the site's risk warrants. The official upstream changelog lists version 3.5.7, 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 WP-Members Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URL Query String in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Successful exploitation requires the victim to first visit the attacker-crafted URL and then click the Terms of Service link rendered on the resulting registration page.
