Description

CVE-2026-5742 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the UsersWP WordPress plugin up to version 1.2.60.

Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view affected badge widgets. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.4. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
