Product: User Registration & Membership – Free & Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration & Login Builder

Description

The The User Registration & Membership – Free & Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration & Login Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.8. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-15222 is a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in the User Registration & Membership – Free & Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration & Login Builder WordPress plugin. The flaw exists in all versions up to 5.2.8, where the plugin improperly controls the generation of code by allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level privileges or above to execute arbitrary shortcodes via insufficient validation before calling do_shortcode.

Potential Impact

An attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can execute arbitrary shortcodes, potentially leading to limited code execution within the context of the WordPress site. The CVSS score of 5.4 (medium severity) reflects that the impact includes limited confidentiality and integrity loss but no availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation link is provided in the data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user capabilities where possible and monitor for suspicious shortcode usage.
