Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The RealHomes Memberships plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.9. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to grant themselves any premium membership tier without completing a PayPal transaction, generating a falsified active payment receipt and gaining unauthorized access to restricted property listing allowances.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in the RealHomes Memberships WordPress plugin (inspiry-memberships, all versions through 3.0.9) allows any authenticated subscriber to self-assign premium membership tiers without completing a PayPal transaction. The plugin's PayPal payment handler fails to verify user authorization before processing membership upgrades, enabling subscribers to generate falsified active payment receipts and unlock restricted property listing allowances. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS score of 4.3 (PR:L) reflects that exploitation is limited to authenticated users.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the RealHomes Memberships plugin (WordPress slug: inspiry-memberships) by InspiyThemes, a membership add-on for the RealHomes real estate theme. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the PayPal payment handler - specifically class-paypal-payment-handler.php at lines 351 and 364, and payment-handler-init.php at line 82 - processes membership grants without verifying that the requesting user is entitled to perform that action. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:inspirythemes:realhomes_memberships:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions up to and including 3.0.9, confirmed by Wordfence and corroborated by source references to both the 3.0.7 and 3.0.9 tag branches in the WordPress plugin repository.
RemediationAI
An upstream fix has been committed to the WordPress plugin repository at changeset 3617226 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3617226%40inspiry-memberships&new=3617226%40inspiry-memberships); however, the exact released patched version number is not confirmed in the available input data. Site administrators should update to the latest available version of inspiry-memberships from the WordPress plugin directory and verify the installed version exceeds 3.0.9. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators can disable new user registration on the WordPress site (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to prevent unknown parties from obtaining the subscriber access required for exploitation - note this may affect legitimate registration flows. Restricting the WordPress REST API or AJAX endpoints used by the payment handler to authenticated sessions only is a secondary option but requires custom code. Review existing subscriber accounts for unauthorized premium membership assignments as part of incident triage.
