Missing authorization in WP Membership plugin <=1.6.3 allows unauthenticated settings change, exploited in mass campaigns.
The WP Membership plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.6.3 contains a missing authorization vulnerability. The plugin fails to properly check access control on certain administrative functions, allowing unauthorized modification of plugin settings [1].
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication by sending crafted requests to the vulnerable endpoints. The vulnerability has been observed in mass-exploit campaigns targeting thousands of websites, indicating active abuse [1].
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to change the plugin's configuration, potentially leading to further compromise of the WordPress installation, such as altering membership levels or redirecting users to malicious sites.
The issue has been addressed in versions after 1.6.3. Users are strongly advised to update the plugin to the latest patched version immediately. If unable to update, consult a hosting provider or developer for assistance [1].
