Overview

CVE-2025-14081 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 17, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

The Ultimate Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Profile Privacy Setting Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0. This is due to a flaw in the secure fields mechanism where field keys are stored in the allowed fields list before the `required_perm` check is applied during rendering. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to modify their profile privacy settings (e.g., setting profile to "Only me") via direct parameter manipulation, even when the administrator has explicitly disabled the option for their role.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
