CVE-2026-3453 Details
Description
The ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.16.11. This is due to missing ownership validation on the change_plan_sub_id parameter in the process_checkout() function. The ppress_process_checkout AJAX handler accepts a user-controlled subscription ID intended for plan upgrades, loads the subscription record, and cancels/expires it without verifying the subscription belongs to the requesting user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to cancel and expire any other user's active subscription via the change_plan_sub_id parameter during checkout, causing immediate loss of paid access for victims.
A vulnerability exists in the ProfilePress plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions up to and including 4.16.11. The issue is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) caused by a lack of ownership validation on the 'change_plan_sub_id' parameter within the 'process_checkout()' function. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and above to cancel and expire any active subscription of another user by manipulating the subscription ID during the checkout process. As a result, victims immediately lose access to paid services.
Users are advised to update the ProfilePress WordPress plugin to version 4.16.12 or later.
