CVE-2026-13352 properfraction CVE debrief

Who should care

Administrators and users of WordPress sites with the Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile & Restrict Content – ProfilePress plugin installed should be aware of this vulnerability and take immediate action to protect their sites.

Technical summary

The Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile & Restrict Content – ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload. The vulnerability exists due to the unconditional registration of an upload_mimes filter that adds executable file extensions (.exe, .apk, .msi) to the global WordPress MIME allowlist, without scoping the expansion to digital-product upload contexts. This allows authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which can lead to remote code execution.
