202610 releases

  1. WP Customer Area 8.4.4Latest

    • Security: the payment currency is now checked against the list of known currencies, saved as a plain code and escaped on display. This fixes a stored cross-site scripting issue in the admin payments list. Updating is recommended.
    • Security: payments can only be started by a logged-in user for an item they own, and the test payment gateway is now disabled by default and only available when WP_DEBUG is on.
    • Security: the layout and title attributes of the [customer-area-protected-content] shortcode are now sanitized and escaped. This fixes a stored cross-site scripting issue. Updating is recommended.
    • Hardening: user names and e-mails are escaped in the payments screens, and shortcode error messages are escaped.
    • Thanks to Lee Bales and HeeDong Cho for responsibly reporting these issues through Patchstack.
    • Template versions bumped: protected-content-shortcode-loop-default, protected-content-shortcode-empty-default, protected-content-shortcode-layout-default-before, protected-content-shortcode-layout-list-before (3.0.1), payment-editor-payer (3.2.1). If your theme overrides them, update your copies.

  2. WP Customer Area 8.4.3

    • Improvement: clearer message when an outdated WP Customer Area 7 add-on is still installed.

  3. WP Customer Area 8.4.2

    • Security: the pagination and date archive parameters of the private files, pages and add-on listings (page-num, cuar_year, cuar_month, cuar_author, cuar_category) are now validated, and listing subtitles are filtered before display. This fixes a reflected cross-site scripting issue. Updating is rec…
    • Security: the “Edit account” page now escapes the Biography field and only refills the form with submitted values after the form’s security check has passed. This fixes a reflected cross-site scripting issue. Updating is recommended.
    • Hardening: author names and collection types are escaped in the private files and pages listings, and account form error messages are escaped.
    • Thanks to Van Phuc (VCI – VNPT Cyber Immunity) and mroccon for responsibly reporting these issues through Patchstack.
    • Template versions bumped: customer-private-files-content, customer-private-pages-content (3.2.1), customer-private-files-content-item, customer-private-pages-content-item (3.3.1). If your theme overrides them, update your copies.

  4. WP Customer Area 8.4.1

    • Security: user, group, project and role names are now escaped everywhere they are displayed (Logs screen, content owner links, widgets, account form). Names saved from the account form can no longer contain HTML or double quotes. Updating is recommended.
    • Thanks to Kuba (Wordfence) for responsibly reporting CVE-2026-116551, fixed in 8.4.1.
    • Template versions bumped: post-owner-link-usr, -grp, -prj, -rol (1.0.1), widget-content-authors, widget-content-list (3.0.1), widget-terms-cloud, widget-terms-tree (3.1.1). If your theme overrides them, update your copies.

  5. WP Customer Area 8.4.0

    • New: when an add-on license is no longer active, a clear notice explains what it stops (compatibility and security fixes, support) and links straight to the renewal. It appears on the dashboard, the Plugins page and the WP Customer Area screens only, and can be hidden for 15 days.
    • New: optional newsletter subscription on the About page and in the setup wizard. It opens our double opt-in form; the plugin itself sends no data.
    • Improvement: the license status is refreshed with each WordPress update check, so a renewed license is recognized quickly. An “Already renewed? Check again” link is also available.
    • Security: updated the bundled PDF libraries (html2pdf 5.3.3, TCPDF 6.11.4) to fix known vulnerabilities.
    • Fix: compatibility with PHP 8.4. Tested with WordPress 7.1.
    • Fix: no more fatal error on the first page load after an update when an outdated add-on (such as Content Expiry 2.1.3) is installed.
    • Fix: licensing traces are written to the PHP error log only when WP_DEBUG is enabled.
    • Removed: the Twitter widget of the About page (third-party script) and an unused bundled licensing library.
    • Requirement: PHP 7.2 or higher.
    • Thanks to Nguyen Tran Tuan Dung (Patchstack) for responsibly reporting CVE-2025-49982, fixed in 8.3.7.

  6. WP Customer Area 8.3.7
