Technical details

The Paid Member Subscriptions plugin for WordPress (versions <= 3.0.7) contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability, classified as CWE-639. The flaw allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization by manipulating identifiers in requests to the server. While the CVSS vector indicates no authentication is required (PR:N), the vulnerability is specifically noted as a 'Subscriber' IDOR, suggesting it may involve escalating the privileges of a low-level user to modify objects belonging to others. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to interact with the database or modify records without proper authorization. The issue is resolved in version 3.0.8.
