Description
The Simple Membership WordPress plugin before 4.7.5 does not verify the authenticity of Stripe webhook requests when no signing secret is configured, nor escape a value taken from them before outputting it in an administrator notice, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of a logged-in administrator.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Simple Membership WordPress plugin before version 4.7.5 accepts Stripe webhook requests without checking a signing secret and then prints data from those requests in an administrator notice without escaping it. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject JavaScript that runs in the context of any logged‑in administrator, potentially enabling phishing, credential theft, and further exploitation of the admin session.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects all installations of the Simple Membership plugin for WordPress running any version earlier than 4.7.5. The flaw is present in every build where a Stripe webhook is enabled and no signing secret has been configured.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 signals a high severity vulnerability, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that exploitation is currently unlikely in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector likely involves an attacker crafting a malicious Stripe webhook payload and sending it to the plugin’s endpoint; because the plugin does not validate the request source, the script is stored and later executed when an administrator views the notice.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Simple Membership to version 4.7.5 or later
  • Configure Stripe Payment Processing to use a webhook signing secret so the plugin can verify the authenticity of incoming requests
  • If an immediate update is not possible, restrict or disable the Stripe webhook endpoint to trusted IP ranges or otherwise reject unauthenticated requests
