CVE-2026-6419
The WishList Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 3.30.1. This is due to the missing capability and nonce check in the ajax_get_screen() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to supply an arbitrary admin screen identifier via the data[url] parameter, causing the plugin to load and execute the administrative API configuration template without authorization.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
The rendered HTML, which contains the plugin's plaintext REST API Secret Key, is returned directly to the attacker in the AJAX JSON response. An attacker who obtains this key can authenticate to the WishList Member API, create a new membership level assigned the administrator WordPress role, and register an arbitrary administrator-level user account, resulting in complete site takeover.

"value": "El plugin WishList Member para WordPress es vulnerable a escalada de privilegios a través de autorización faltante en versiones hasta la 3.30.1 inclusive. Esto se debe a la verificación de capacidad y nonce faltante en la función ajax_get_screen(). Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Suscriptor y superior, suministren un identificador de pantalla de administración arbitrario a través del parámetro data[url], haciendo que el plugin cargue y ejecute la plantilla de configuración de la API administrativa sin autorización. El HTML renderizado, que contiene la clave secreta de la API REST en texto plano del plugin, se devuelve directamente al atacante en la respuesta JSON AJAX. Un atacante que obtiene esta clave puede autenticarse en la API de WishList Member, crear un nuevo nivel de membresía asignado al rol de administrador de WordPress y registrar una cuenta de usuario de nivel de administrador arbitraria, lo que resulta en una toma de control completa del sitio."
