CVE-2026-19660 PUBLISHED

Divi Membership <= 2.3.0 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via 'paypal_param' Parameter

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 12.08.2026 Published: 02.10.2026 Updated: 02.10.2026

The Divi Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. The process_paypal_callback function, hooked to the init action, accepts a base64-encoded paypal_param GET parameter with no IPN validation, no cryptographic signature check, no ownership verification, and no nonce, allowing it to trust an entirely attacker-controlled user ID value that is passed directly to wp_set_current_user() and wp_set_auth_cookie(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user — including administrators — by supplying an arbitrary user ID in the paypal_param GET parameter, resulting in full site takeover. The vulnerability is further compounded by the fact that the PayPal gateway class is instantiated unconditionally regardless of whether PayPal is enabled or configured, ensuring the vulnerable hook is always registered on every front-end request.
