{"cve":"CVE-2026-3629","nvd":{"published":"2026-03-21T23:16:51.393","modified":"2026-06-17T10:43:53.480","status":"Deferred","description":"The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.29.7. This is due to the 'save_extra_user_profile_fields' function not properly restricting which user meta keys can be updated via profile fields. The 'get_restricted_fields' method does not include sensitive meta keys such as 'wp_capabilities'. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to escalate their privileges to Administrator by submitting a crafted registration request that sets the 'wp_capabilities' meta key. The vulnerability can only be exploited if the \"Show fields in profile\" setting is enabled and a CSV with a wp_capabilities column header has been previously imported.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/1.29.7/classes/columns.php#L193","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/1.29.7/classes/columns.php#L217","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/tags/1.29.7/classes/helper.php#L146","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3483330/import-users-from-csv-with-meta#file37","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/48dd9098-38e6-49da-8d22-27e12fddef51?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:26:19.218427112+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-3629","score":0.00426,"percentile":0.36872,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
