ProfilePress <= 4.5.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Published Dec 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘wp_user_cover_default_image_url’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 4.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
