MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication is required (PR:N per CVSS vector) and no special network positioning is needed - the vulnerable endpoint is reachable over the public internet (AV:N, AC:L). Exploitation requires that the WCFM Membership plugin be installed and active on a WordPress/WooCommerce site running version 2.11.11 or earlier. No non-default configuration triggers the vulnerability; standard plugin deployment is sufficient. The impact ceiling is explicitly limited to integrity modifications only (I:L, C:N, A:N), meaning attackers cannot read sensitive data or crash the service through this vector alone. User interaction is not required. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) is grounded in a realistic impact profile: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms trivially-initiated unauthenticated network exploitation, but S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N caps the damage to limited, scoped integrity modifications with no data disclosure or service disruption. EPSS data is not present in the supplied intelligence, and the vulnerability carries no CISA KEV listing, indicating no confirmed mass or targeted exploitation. Missing authorization on WordPress plugin endpoints is a well-understood, commonly scanned vulnerability class, meaning even a mid-sized municipal IT team in opole running a WooCommerce multivendor store should prioritize patching over relying on obscurity. The practical exploitation barrier is low due to AC:L and PR:N, but the ceiling of attacker impact - limited write operations only - meaningfully constrains severity relative to vulnerabilities that allow code execution or credential theft. No POC has been identified, and the Patchstack disclosure is the sole intelligence source. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker enumerates a target WordPress site running WCFM Membership, identifies the vulnerable access-controlled endpoint lacking capability checks, and sends a crafted HTTP request - likely a POST to an AJAX or REST handler - that modifies membership configuration, user tiers, or access rules without triggering any authorization gate. No public exploit code has been identified, but the AC:L rating means the attack is straightforward to replicate once the specific endpoint is known from the Patchstack disclosure. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 04, 2026
Missing authorization in WCFM Membership WordPress plugin through version 2.11.11 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control and perform unauthorized write operations on protected endpoints. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms the flaw is network-accessible without any authentication, though impact is bounded to limited integrity modification (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability exposure. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update WCFM Membership to the version released after 2.11.11 - consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wc-multivendor-membership/vulnerability/wordpress-wcfm-membership-plugin-2-11-11-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and the WordPress plugin repository for the exact patched release, as no specific fix version number is confirmed in the available input data. As a compensating control prior to patching, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or Cloudflare) targeting the vulnerable endpoint(s) identified in the Patchstack report; note that WAF rules may cause false positives if they block legitimate membership management requests. Restricting WordPress site access to authenticated users only (e.g., via a login-wall at the CDN or server level) would eliminate the PR:N attack surface but would break public-facing marketplace functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WCFM Membership is a WordPress plugin by WC Lovers that provides membership tier management for WooCommerce multivendor marketplace installations, extending the WCFM (WooCommerce Frontend Manager) ecosystem. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a root cause where the application fails to verify that a requesting party holds sufficient privileges before granting access to a function or resource - distinct from an authentication failure. In WordPress, this commonly manifests as REST API endpoints or AJAX handlers that lack capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) before executing privileged operations. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:wc_lovers:wcfm_membership:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms all tracked versions up to and including 2.11.11 are vulnerable, with no lower version bound specified in the NVD data.
