DescriptionNVD

The Wishlist Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'WishListMember\Features\Team_Accounts::save_settings' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.30.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update arbitrary plugin options, includes the REST API Secret Key, which can be used to create a new membership level assigned the administrator WordPress role, and register an arbitrary administrator-level user account, resulting in complete site takeover.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in the Wishlist Member WordPress plugin (versions through 3.30.1) allows any authenticated user with Subscriber-level access or higher to update arbitrary plugin options, including the REST API Secret Key, leading to full site takeover. The flaw stems from a missing capability check in the Team_Accounts::save_settings function, and although no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the low authentication bar and chained admin-account creation path make it a high-priority risk on any WordPress site that permits public registration.
