What is CVE-2026-5073?
CVE-2026-5073 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in ARMember Premium – Membership Plugin, Content Restriction, Member Levels, User Profile & User signup, published on 2 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The ARMember Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'order' parameter of the 'arm_directory_paging_action' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied 'order' and 'orderby' parameters and the lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the `arm_get_directory_members()` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
Weakness: CWE-89
