Publication date: 2026-02-10

Last updated on: 2026-02-10

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce along with Bookings Subscription Listings Compatible plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data that can lead to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'WCFM_Settings_Controller::processing' function in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.24. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to update arbitrary options on the WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update the default role for registration to administrator and enable user registration for attackers to gain administrative user access to a vulnerable site.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce and the Bookings Subscription Listings Compatible plugin for WordPress. It is caused by a missing capability check in the 'WCFM_Settings_Controller::processing' function in all versions up to and including 6.7.24.

Because of this, authenticated users with Shop Manager-level access or higher can modify data they should not be able to. Specifically, they can update arbitrary options on the WordPress site.

An attacker can exploit this to change the default user role for new registrations to administrator and enable user registration, allowing them to create administrative accounts and gain full control over the site.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have a severe impact because it allows attackers with relatively low privileges (Shop Manager-level) to escalate their privileges to administrator.

Once an attacker gains administrative access, they can fully control the WordPress site, including modifying content, installing malicious plugins, stealing sensitive data, or disrupting site operations.

The vulnerability can lead to a complete compromise of the affected website.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should update the WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce along with Bookings Subscription Listings Compatible plugin to a version later than 6.7.24 where the missing capability check is fixed.

Additionally, restrict Shop Manager-level access and above to trusted users only, and consider disabling user registration temporarily to prevent attackers from creating administrative accounts.
