CVE-2026-7655 Details
Description
The SureCart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in versions up to, and including, 4.2.3. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like email during customer profile synchronization from webhook events. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change linked user's email addresses, including administrators if the administrator account is linked to a SureCart customer record, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account if the customer ID is known.
A privilege escalation vulnerability allowing for unauthenticated account takeover has been identified in the SureCart plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 4.2.3. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly validate a user's identity before updating details such as email addresses during customer profile synchronization from webhook events. This vulnerability enables unauthenticated attackers to change the email addresses of linked users, including administrators, if their accounts are associated with a SureCart customer record. Attackers can then use the updated email to reset the user's password and gain access to their account, provided they know the customer ID.
Users are advised to update the SureCart plugin to version 4.3.0 or a newer patched version.
