The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid WordPress user account with at least Subscriber-level role on the target site, confirmed by the CVSS vector PR:L (low privilege required). The target site must have the User Frontend plugin installed, activated, and actively using its subscription pack functionality. Open user registration (WordPress default setting) would allow any unauthenticated user to self-register and then immediately exploit the flaw. What limits exploitation: the attacker must be authenticated (no unauthenticated path exists per PR:L), the plugin must be installed and active, and the target users must have subscription packs assigned. The impact is confined to subscription data modification - no code execution, no credential disclosure.

Impact

The CVSS base score of 4.3 (Medium) is appropriate for this vulnerability. The vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N indicates network-accessible exploitation with low complexity, low required privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, limited integrity impact, and no availability impact. The practical severity is bounded by the fact that the attacker must already hold a valid WordPress account (Subscriber or above), limiting mass unauthenticated exploitation. However, in any site allowing open user registration, a Subscriber account is trivial to obtain. The primary business impact is disruption of subscription states - an attacker could cancel administrator or paying member subscriptions, causing service disruption and potential revenue loss. There is no KEV listing and no POC identified at time of analysis, keeping the immediate exploitation pressure low. EPSS data was not provided; given the authenticated requirement and limited impact scope, real-world exploitation probability is likely low but non-negligible for targeted attacks against sites with open registration.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a free account on the target WordPress site, obtaining Subscriber-level access. They then send a crafted authenticated HTTP request calling the user_subscription_cancel() function with the user ID of an administrator or paying member as the target parameter. Because no capability check is present, the function executes and cancels the victim's subscription pack without validation. No public exploit code has been identified, but the attack requires only knowledge of a target user ID, which can often be enumerated through WordPress's author archive URLs.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 09, 2026

Unauthorized subscription cancellation in weDevs User Frontend WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.3.2) allows any authenticated subscriber to cancel any other user's subscription pack, including administrators. The flaw stems from a missing capability check on the user_subscription_cancel() function, meaning low-privileged users can invoke privileged actions. No public exploit code has been identified and this is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and broad attacker pool (any registered subscriber) make this a realistic insider or account-takeover amplification risk.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to update the User Frontend plugin to the version containing the fix committed in WordPress plugin repository changeset 3528244 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3528244/). The exact patched version number was not explicitly stated in the provided data - confirm the target version via the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ffdf34bb-a887-444c-8a76-12901fed6662 before upgrading. As an interim compensating control, disable open user registration (Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to prevent unauthenticated users from obtaining Subscriber accounts; note this will block new user self-registration. Additionally, review and audit current Subscriber-level accounts for any that should not have access. If the membership/subscription features are not actively used, temporarily deactivating the plugin eliminates the attack surface entirely until the patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the weDevs User Frontend WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wedevs:user_frontend), which provides frontend posting, membership, and user registration features. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the user_subscription_cancel() function executes subscription cancellation logic without first verifying that the calling user holds sufficient privilege to operate on the target account. In WordPress, proper authorization requires capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) before performing privileged data modifications. The absence of this check means the function trusts the caller's identity but never validates their authorization level relative to the target subscription. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N confirms this is network-exploitable with low attack complexity and requires only a low-privilege authenticated session, consistent with the Subscriber role being sufficient.

DescriptionCVE.org

The User Frontend: AI Powered Frontend Posting, User Directory, Profile, Membership & User Registration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the user_subscription_cancel() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to cancel any user's subscription pack, including administrators.
