High CVSS 8.1

CVE-2026-15368

NVD analysis in progress

The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 3.16.4 does not correctly bind the automatic login performed after user registration to the newly created account, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain an authenticated session for an arbitrary existing user, including administrators, on sites using a supported but non-default configuration.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
Privilege handling is faulty, so an account ends up with more rights than intended.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
