Description
The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0 via the ajax_get_members function. This is due to the use of a predictable low-entropy token (5 hex characters derived from md5 of post ID) to identify member directories and insufficient authorization checks on the unauthenticated AJAX endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including usernames, display names, user roles (including administrator accounts), profile URLs, and user IDs by enumerating predictable directory_id values or brute-forcing the small 16^5 token space.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in a predictable low‑entropy token used by the ajax_get_members function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to enumerate member directories and retrieve sensitive account information such as usernames, display names, roles—including administrator accounts—profile URLs, and user IDs. This constitutes a data disclosure flaw (CWE‑200) because the plugin fails to enforce proper authorization on exposed AJAX endpoint.

Affected Systems

Affected installations are those running Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin version 2.11.0 or earlier on WordPress. All WordPress sites that have not upgraded beyond 2.11.0 are potentially vulnerable to this information‑exposure flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low probability of exploitation at the time of analysis. Nonetheless, the flaw can be exploited through simple enumeration or brute‑force of the 16⁵ token space, meaning unauthenticated users can glean sensitive data without any additional privileges. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of strong access controls on a public endpoint warrants immediate attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Ultimate Member to the latest version (>= 2.12.0) to remove the vulnerable ajax_get_members endpoint.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict access to the ajax_get_members endpoint so that only authenticated users can invoke it.
  • Run a security scan or audit after applying the fix to confirm that no sensitive user information is exposed via public AJAX calls.
