At a glance

CVE-2025-12752 is a medium-severity Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity vulnerability in the Subscriptions & Memberships for PayPal WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.1.7. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview

The Subscriptions & Memberships for PayPal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to fake payment creation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying the authenticity of an IPN request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create fake payment entries that have not actually occurred.

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 privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.

Remediation

Update to version 1.1.8, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Subscriptions & Memberships for PayPal 1.1.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
