Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires WPFunnels plugin version 3.6.3 through 3.12.x to be installed and active on a WordPress site. The vulnerability is most impactful when the site's WordPress user registration is disabled (Settings > General > Anyone can register unchecked) - sites with open registration are not meaningfully affected since attackers can register through normal means. The attacker must target one of the two registration code paths not covered by the 3.6.3 patch; no authentication, elevated privileges, or user interaction is required. The created account likely defaults to subscriber role unless the site has configured a different default role.

Impact

The CVSS 5.3 Medium rating with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N accurately captures the direct impact ceiling: an attacker can create WordPress user accounts but cannot read data or disrupt availability through this vulnerability alone. The real-world risk is contextually higher than the score implies for two reasons. First, unauthorized accounts are a common pivot point - attacker-controlled subscriber-level accounts can be exploited in chained attacks against other vulnerable plugins that incorrectly gate functionality on any authenticated role. Second, the incomplete-fix history means administrators who patched CVE-2025-12353 by updating to 3.6.3 or later (through 3.12.x) may have a false sense of security and deprioritized this follow-on issue. A public POC/exploit is confirmed via WPScan, substantially lowering the exploitation bar. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no confirmed mass exploitation at time of analysis. EPSS data is not provided in the input.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the WPFunnels opt-in form AJAX handler, setting the request's registration-permission parameter to a truthy value. The plugin accepts this client-controlled value as authoritative, bypasses the WordPress site-level registration restriction, and inserts a new user record into the database. A public POC is available via WPScan, making this attack trivially scriptable for mass scanning.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 04, 2026

Unauthorized WordPress account creation in WPFunnels (versions 3.6.3 through before 3.13.0) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to register user accounts on sites where WordPress registration is explicitly disabled. The plugin trusts a client-supplied boolean in the opt-in form submission request rather than querying the server-side registration setting, making the site-level restriction trivially bypassable. This is an incomplete patch for CVE-2025-12353 - the fix applied in 3.6.3 closed only one of three registration code paths, leaving sites that updated to 3.6.3 through 3.12.x still vulnerable and falsely believing they were protected.

RemediationAI

Update WPFunnels to version 3.13.0 or later, which closes all three registration code paths. The WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/c01926e9-f3e0-4bd5-9802-8f5f79a50504/ confirms 3.13.0 as the fully patched release. Sites that previously upgraded to 3.6.3 through 3.12.x in response to CVE-2025-12353 should treat this as an unresolved exposure and upgrade immediately. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider temporarily disabling WPFunnels opt-in form submission by deactivating the plugin, or deploying WAF rules to block POST requests to the WPFunnels AJAX registration endpoints - note this will disrupt funnel form functionality. After mitigation, audit the wp_users table for accounts created during the exposure window, particularly those with subscriber role and no legitimate origin.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WPFunnels is a WordPress funnel-builder plugin that includes opt-in form functionality capable of triggering new user registration. The root cause is CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization): rather than calling WordPress core functions to verify the site's users_can_register option server-side, the plugin reads a parameter value from the incoming HTTP request to decide whether account creation should proceed. This trust-the-client pattern means an attacker can flip the parameter to force registration regardless of site configuration. The CVE description explicitly notes three distinct registration code paths exist in the plugin; CVE-2025-12353 led to a patch in 3.6.3 that only guarded one of them. The CPE is cpe:2.3:a:unknown:wpfunnels:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* - the vendor field is unresolved in NVD data, though the product identity is unambiguous from the WPScan advisory.

DescriptionCVE.org

The WPFunnels WordPress plugin before 3.13.0 does not check whether user registration is enabled on the site before creating accounts from opt-in form submissions, relying on a value supplied in the request instead, allowing unauthenticated attackers to create WordPress user accounts even when registration is disabled.

This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-12353: the check added in 3.6.3 covers only one of the three registration paths.
