What we check for

MediumCVE-2026-1028012026-10-31

Users Anywhere (usersanywhere) below 3.0.1 - Authenticated Username and Email Disclosure via User Tag Overrides

CVE-2026-102801 (CVE record reserved, not yet published). Users Anywhere user tags could override the plugin settings that disable username and email output, so a content author could publish the usernames and email addresses of site users on a public page even where the administrator had switched that output off. Fixed in Users Anywhere 3.0.1 (31 October 2026), Free and Pro. Temporary mitigation: restrict which user groups can create or edit content containing Users Anywhere tags.

Affected versions: < 3.0.1

MediumCVE-2026-851962026-09-13

Users Anywhere (usersanywhere) 2.0.0 to below 2.1.0 - Authenticated Stored and Reflected XSS via Unescaped Request Input

Regular Labs Users Anywhere 2.0.0 through 2.0.6 is affected by CVE-2026-85196, fixed in 2.1.0 (released 13 September 2026). Request input consumed by Users Anywhere data tags was not escaped, and the optional raw output mode was available to any article author, allowing script to be injected into rendered content. This is the same defect and the same CVE the vendor fixed in Articles Anywhere 20.0.0, the two extensions sharing the data-tag code. Exploitation requires the ability to author or edit content containing Users Anywhere tags, or a page that already feeds request input into one. Update to 2.1.0 or later. The CVE record was published on 14 September 2026 with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (Medium), vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.

Affected versions: ≥ 2.0.0 and < 2.1.0
