WishList Member Plugin Missing Authorization Flaws

Privilege escalation in the WishList Member WordPress plugin versions up to 3.30.1 allows authenticated low-privilege users to obtain the REST API Secret Key via the unprotected 'export_settings' AJAX endpoint and leverage it to register arbitrary administrator accounts. The CVSS 8.8 (High) rating reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, and while no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, the discovery by Wordfence - a major WordPress security vendor - typically precedes broader exploitation against the large WordPress plugin ecosystem.

Privilege escalation in the Wishlist Member WordPress plugin (versions ≤3.30.1) allows authenticated Subscriber-level users to overwrite the plugin's REST API Secret Key and abuse it to create administrator accounts, leading to full site takeover. The flaw stems from a missing capability check on the generate_api_key hook handler. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Wordfence has published a threat-intel advisory.

Privilege escalation in the WishList Member WordPress plugin (versions through 3.30.1) allows authenticated subscriber-level attackers to extract the plugin's plaintext REST API Secret Key and use it to create administrator accounts, resulting in full site takeover. The flaw is reachable via a single AJAX call (ajax_get_screen) that lacks capability and nonce checks. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the attack path is fully described in the Wordfence advisory and requires only low-privileged authenticated access.

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.
