Description
The CRM Memberships plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via password reset in all versions up to, and including, 2.6. This is due to missing authorization and authentication checks on the `ntzcrm_changepassword` AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset arbitrary user passwords and gain unauthorized access to user accounts via the `ntzcrm_changepassword` endpoint, granted they can obtain or enumerate a target user's email address. The plugin also exposes the `ntzcrm_get_users` endpoint without authentication, allowing attackers to enumerate subscriber email addresses, facilitating the exploitation of the password reset vulnerability.

AI Analysis

Impact

The CRM Memberships plugin for WordPress allows an attacker who can reach the web interface to reset any user’s password without authentication. This is caused by missing authorization checks on the ntzcrm_changepassword AJAX endpoint, permitting unauthenticated users to exploit the password reset functionality. Once the password is overridden, the attacker can assume the identity of the targeted account, potentially accessing sensitive data or performing actions on behalf of the legitimate user. The vulnerability leads directly to full account compromise for any user whose email address can be discovered, satisfying the conditions for effective exploitation.

Affected Systems

All releases of dripadmin:CRM Memberships plugin up to and including version 2.6 are vulnerable. The issue is present in every build of the plugin released prior to the 2.7 bug‑fix, regardless of additional configuration or site content.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 ranks this flaw as critical, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed public exploits yet. Likely exploitation would occur remotely over the internet by sending crafted AJAX requests to the ntzcrm_changepassword endpoint, following enumeration of a target email via the unprotected ntzcrm_get_users endpoint. The lack of an attacker‑controlled user context means that no privileged user role is required to trigger the vulnerability.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the CRM Memberships plugin to the latest version (2.7 or later) where the password reset endpoint requires proper authentication
  • Block or remove the ntzcrm_changepassword AJAX endpoint from public access using a web‑application firewall or server rules
  • Disable the ntzcrm_get_users endpoint or enforce authentication so that email enumeration is not possible

Description The CRM Memberships plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via password reset in all versions up to, and including, 2.5. This is due to missing authorization and authentication checks on the `ntzcrm_changepassword` AJAX action.
