Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-14 00:31 – Updated: 2026-04-14 00:31

Details
The User Registration & Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Open Redirect in versions up to and including 5.1.4. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied URLs passed via the 'redirect_to_on_logout' GET parameter before redirecting users. The redirect_to_on_logout GET parameter is passed directly to WordPress's wp_redirect() function instead of the domain-restricted wp_safe_redirect(). While esc_url_raw() is applied to sanitize malformed URLs, it does not restrict the redirect destination to the local domain, allowing an attacker to craft a specially formed link that redirects users to potentially malicious external URLs after logout, which could be used to facilitate phishing attacks.
