CVE-2024-12919
9.8
Critical
| Base vector | Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Paid Membership Subscriptions – Effortless Memberships, Recurring Payments & Content Restriction plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.13.7
Description:
The issue is due to the `pms pb payment redirect link` function using the user-controlled value supplied via the `pms payment id` parameter to authenticate users without any further identity validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers with knowledge of a valid payment ID to log in as any user who has made a purchase on the targeted site.
Recommendations:
For versions up to, and including, 2.13.7, consider disabling the `pms pb payment redirect link` function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the `pms payment id` parameter to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. Update to a version later than 2.13.7 when available.
Fix
Improper Authentication
