The vulnerability was initially reported by Hamza Alhababseh on July 07, 2025, and was publicly disclosed on August 12, 2025.

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a Broken Access Control issue (CWE-862) where there is a missing authorization, authentication, or nonce token check in certain functions. This allows unprivileged users to execute higher privileged actions.

Impact

Mitigation and workarounds

Website administrators are advised to update to version 3.0.0 or later of the Membership For WooCommerce plugin to resolve the vulnerability. For temporary mitigation, Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to block potential attacks until the update can be applied (Patchstack).
