Mehrere Schwachstellen (CVE-2026-3296, CVE-2026-4003) in Wordpress

⚠️ CVE-Referenzen: CVE-2026-3296 CVE-2026-4003

Zusammenfassung

In dem WordPress-Plugin "Users manager - PN" wurde eine kritische Sicherheitslücke mit der CVE-ID CVE-2026-4003 entdeckt. Unbefugte Nutzer können durch Manipulation von Benutzer-Metadaten ihre Rechte auf dem System ausweiten. Der Patch ist dringend erforderlich, um Schäden zu verhindern.

The Users manager – PN plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Arbitrary User Meta Update in all versions up to and including 1.1.15. This is due to a flawed authorization logic check in the userspn_ajax_nopriv_server() function within the 'userspn_form_save' case. The conditional only blocks unauthenticated users when the user_id is empty, but when a non-empty user_id is supplied, execution bypasses this check entirely and proceeds to update arbitrary user meta via update_user_meta() without any authentication or authorization verification. Additionally, the nonce required for this AJAX endpoint ('userspn-nonce') is exposed to all visitors via wp_localize_script on the public wp_enqueue_scripts hook, rendering the nonce check ineffective as a security control. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary user metadata for any user account, including the userspn_secret_token field.
