Description
The WP-Members Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via WooCommerce Checkout Multicheckbox/Multiselect Field (scalar bypass of wpmem_sanitize_array) in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is only exploitable via the WooCommerce classic checkout path, as the sibling registration, profile, and account-edit handlers implode the value before sanitization, which raises a PHP 8 TypeError on scalar input and fails closed.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WP‑Members Membership Plugin, versions up to 3.5.7, contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that is triggered when an authenticated user with subscriber or higher privileges submits a WooCommerce classic checkout form that includes a multicheckbox/multiselect field. The plugin processes this field with wpmem_sanitize_array, which does not correctly handle scalar input and fails to escape the stored value. As a result, an attacker can store malicious JavaScript that will run whenever a user views a page that includes the stored value.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation that uses the WP‑Members Membership Plugin cbutlerjr, with the plugin version 3.5.7 or earlier and that has the WooCommerce classic checkout enabled, is affected. The vulnerability is tied specifically to the multicheckbox/multiselect field in the classic checkout path; other plugin handlers such as registration, profile, and account‑edit safely abort on scalar input.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 6.4, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated subscriber‑level access to submit a payload through the checkout form. Once the malicious script is stored, it executes for every user who views the affected page, providing an attacker persistent ability to inject code into visitors’ browsers.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WP‑Members Membership Plugin to version 3.5.8 or later, which removes the flawed multicheckbox handling.
  • If an update cannot be performed immediately, disable or remove the WooCommerce classic checkout multicheckbox/multiselect fields to prevent new malicious submissions.
  • Apply a Content‑Security‑Policy header to the site to restrict the execution of untrusted scripts.
