CVE-2026-120518
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
BuddyPress XProfile Custom Image Field versions through 3.1.0 can process registration metadata in a way that permits deletion of files outside its intended image location. An unauthenticated attacker may delete server files when WordPress registration is open and an image-type profile field appears on the signup form.
mitigation
Disable the plugin until a corrected release is available. If it must remain enabled, disable public registration or remove image-type profile fields from the signup form.
outcome
Contextual, not validated: no deterministic check could cover this one, and no technique passed our review.
