Deferred Deferred - Pending Action
Insecure Direct Object Reference in User Registration & Membership WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-05-28

Last updated on: 2026-05-28

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The User Registration & Membership – Free & Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration & Login Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.5. This is due to missing ownership validation on a user-controlled attachment ID, allowing the plugin to store and subsequently delete arbitrary media attachments without verifying that the referenced attachment belongs to the requesting user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to permanently delete arbitrary media attachments uploaded by any other user, including administrators.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

The vulnerability exists in the User Registration & Membership plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 5.1.5. It is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) issue caused by missing ownership validation on a user-controlled attachment ID.

This flaw allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to delete arbitrary media attachments uploaded by any other user, including administrators, because the plugin does not verify that the attachment belongs to the requesting user before allowing deletion.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized deletion of media files on a WordPress site using the affected plugin. Attackers with subscriber-level access or above can permanently delete media attachments belonging to other users, including administrators.

Such unauthorized deletions can disrupt website content, cause data loss, and potentially impact site functionality or user experience.
