Exploitation Conditions

The target WordPress site must have the ThemeGrill User Registration Stripe plugin installed and activated at version 1.3.12 or earlier, with the affected endpoint reachable over HTTP/HTTPS - the standard deployment for a public WordPress signup page. No authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is required (PR:N, UI:N, AC:L), and exploitation works against default installations. Limiting factors are narrow: the plugin must actually be present (it is an add-on, not part of WordPress core or the base User Registration plugin), and the attacker must know or discover the specific vulnerable action name, which Patchstack's advisory may disclose post-embargo.

Impact

The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, which is the worst-case pre-conditions profile and aligns with the 'Unauthenticated' qualifier in the Patchstack report. The C:L/I:H/A:N impact pattern is consistent with a broken access control flaw that lets attackers modify or create data (e.g., users, subscriptions, payment state) with only limited read exposure and no denial-of-service. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision is provided, and no POC is referenced, so real-world exploitation pressure is currently unknown - for a niche commerce plugin this typically means opportunistic mass scanning of WordPress sites rather than targeted attacks. The lack of an explicit fixed version in the input is a notable gap: Patchstack lists 1.3.12 as the highest vulnerable version, but the patched release must be verified directly from the linked advisory before deployment.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker scanning the internet for WordPress sites fingerprints the User Registration Stripe plugin via its static assets or REST namespace, then sends a crafted HTTP request directly to the vulnerable AJAX or REST endpoint without any session cookie or nonce. Because the handler skips capability checks, the request succeeds and the attacker modifies registration or payment-related state - for example creating users, altering subscription records, or manipulating plan assignments. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity unauthenticated profile makes development of a working PoC straightforward once the specific endpoint is identified.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026

Broken access control in the WordPress plugin User Registration Stripe (versions <= 1.3.12) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke protected functionality without proper authorization checks. The flaw stems from missing capability validation (CWE-862) and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.2 with high integrity impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed in the provided data, so administrators should consult https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/user-registration-stripe/vulnerability/wordpress-user-registration-stripe-plugin-1-3-12-broken-access-control-vulnerability for the exact fixed release (expected to be the next version after 1.3.12) and upgrade via the WordPress plugin dashboard. As an interim workaround, deactivate the User Registration Stripe plugin on affected sites - this will disable Stripe-based signup payments but eliminates the vulnerable code path entirely - or place the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and /wp-json/ endpoints related to this plugin behind a WAF rule that blocks unauthenticated requests to its specific action names, accepting that custom rules may break legitimate signup flows. Audit existing users and Stripe subscription records created on or after the plugin was installed to detect possible abuse before patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

User Registration Stripe is a ThemeGrill-developed WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:themegrill:user_registration_stripe) that extends the User Registration plugin family to accept Stripe-based payments during signup. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning at least one plugin endpoint - likely an AJAX action, REST route, or admin-post handler - fails to verify the caller's capability or nonce before executing privileged logic. In WordPress plugins, this pattern typically arises when developers register a callback via add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_...') or a REST 'permission_callback' that returns true, exposing state-changing operations to anonymous visitors.

Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in User Registration Stripe <= 1.3.12 versions.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The User Registration Stripe WordPress plugin (v1.3.12 and below) contains a critical access control vulnerability (CVSS 8.2) that enables unauthenticated attackers to bypass authorization and invoke protected functionality-creating immediate risk for organizations managing user registrations and Stripe payments. Without a vendor-released patch, affected organizations face exposure of user data, unauthorized account creation, and potential payment system abuse. Immediate remediation or plugin replacement is required.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable plugin if non-critical to business operations; (2) Deploy WAF rules requiring authentication for all registration endpoints; (3) Enable comprehensive audit logging on user registration activities; (4) Restrict plugin administration access to internal IP ranges only; (5) Monitor registration logs for unusual patterns or failed authorization attempts; (6) Evaluate feasibility of internal security patching if plugin is business-critical; (7) Prioritize migration to alternative registration/payment solution.
