CVE-2026-5742
The UsersWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 1.2.60.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The UsersWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 1.2.60. This is due to insufficient input sanitization of user-supplied URL fields and improper output escaping when rendering user profile data in badge widgets. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the affected badge widget.
