This CVE was published Oct 13, 2026 and is one of 17 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update WP User Manager to 2.9.25 or a later supported release. Enforce server-side capability and per-object authorization before returning protected data or applying the operation. A nonce does not establish authorization.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
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.
