Simple Membership <= 4.7.5 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Member Account Deactivation via Forged Stripe 'charge.refunded' Webhook

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 12.06.2026 Published: 18.06.2026 Updated: 18.06.2026

The Simple Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.5. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to deactivate arbitrary member accounts by forging a charge.refunded webhook event containing a victim's subscription ID, setting the target member's account_state to 'inactive' and triggering cancellation hooks, transaction-record status changes, and cancellation notification emails. This vulnerability is exploitable only on installations where no Stripe webhook signing secret has been configured, which is the default out-of-the-box state; sites that have configured the stripe-webhook-signing-secret option are routed to the properly verified HMAC path and are not affected.
