Vulnerability Overview

The User Registration & Membership – Custom Registration Form, Login Form, and User Profile plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.3 via the user_registration_membership_register_member() due to missing validation on the 'membership_id' user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update any user's membership to any other active or non-active membership type.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.1.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
