CVE-2026-6895 Details
Description
The WishList Member plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization leading to Sensitive Information Disclosure and Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 3.30.1. This is due to the missing capability checks in the 'export_settings' function. This function returns the REST API Secret Key to the attacker in the AJAX JSON response. An attacker who obtains this key can authenticate to the WishList Member API, create a new membership level assigned the administrator WordPress role, and register an arbitrary administrator-level user account, resulting in complete site takeover.
A vulnerability exists in the WishList Member plugin for WordPress, in versions up to and including 3.30.1. The issue stems from missing authorization checks in the 'export_settings' function, which allows authenticated users to access the REST API Secret Key. This key, if obtained, can be used to authenticate with the WishList Member API, create new membership levels with administrative privileges, and register users with administrator rights, potentially leading to a complete takeover of the site.
Users are advised to update the WishList Member plugin to version 3.31.0 or later.
