An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-96539 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ultimate Member. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96539/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96539/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-96539","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96539/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-96539","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vf6m-m5g4-4q6v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin due to incorrect privilege assignment, requiring an upgrade to secure the site.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Ultimate Member Ultimate Member ultimate-member allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Ultimate Member: from n/a through 2.13.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Ultimate Member plugin \u003c= 2.13.1 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-96539","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Network Security Manager (NSM)","id":"CVE-2026-96540"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WarehousePG pg_file_write/pg_file_rename/pg_file_unlink/pg_logdir_ls privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2026-96538"},"products":["Ultimate Member"],"published":"2026-10-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-11","vendors":["Ultimate Member"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges in the Ultimate Member WordPress plugin due to incorrect privilege assignment, requiring an upgrade to secure the site.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96539/"}
