CVE-2024-8326 is a high-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the s2Member WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 241114. It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact).

Vulnerability Overview

The s2Member – Excellent for All Kinds of Memberships, Content Restriction Paywalls & Member Access Subscriptions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 241114 via the 'sc_get_details' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including user data and database configuration information, which can lead to reading, updating, or dropping database tables. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 241114.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

s2Member <= 241114 carries this weakness at sc_get_details, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For s2Member the fix is 241216: builds <= 241114 are affected, anything from 241216 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 241216, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: s2Member 241216 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
