CVE-2026-76548· NVD / CVE Program· CNA WPScan

Profile Builder < 4.0.1 - Unauthenticated Unpublished Content and Media Modification via Front-End Upload Auth Bypass

The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not properly restrict its front-end file upload feature, granting unauthenticated visitors capabilities reserved to privileged roles. This allows them to list the site's media library and to modify unpublished posts, pages and media items belonging to other users.

Weakness class (CWE)

CWE-287 · Improper Authentication

CVSS vector

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N

nvd-secondary

Root cause

Authentication is added route by route instead of being enforced in one place. When a route added later bypasses the shared middleware, the session check never runs for it.

The bug in code

The whole CWE-287 class

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

ts
app.use("/admin", requireSession, adminRouter);
// Route added later skips the middlewareapp.post("/admin-api/config", updateConfig);

Fixed

ts
const admin = express.Router();admin.use(requireSession, requireRole("admin"));
admin.post("/config", updateConfig);app.use("/admin", admin);

Attack context

MITRE CAPEC attack patterns and ATT&CK techniques for this weakness class (CWE). A starting point for detection rules and threat hunting.
