WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
WP User Manager 2.9.21 - 2.9.25 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Paid Registration Role After Stripe Disconnect
Description
The plugin does not keep its paid-registration capability restrictions in force once the payment gateway is disconnected, while a published paid registration form continues to assign its configured role, allowing unauthenticated users to register and immediately obtain a privileged administrator-equivalent role without completing the payment meant to gate it.
