CVE-2026-3568 PUBLISHED

MStore API <= 4.18.3 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Insecure Direct Object Reference to Arbitrary User Meta Update

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 04.03.2026 Published: 09.04.2026 Updated: 09.04.2026

The MStore API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.18.3. This is due to the update_user_profile() function in controllers/flutter-user.php processing the 'meta_data' JSON parameter without any allowlist, blocklist, or validation of meta keys. The function reads raw JSON from php://input (line 1012), decodes it (line 1013), authenticates the user via cookie validation (line 1015), and then directly iterates over the user-supplied meta_data array passing arbitrary keys and values to update_user_meta() (line 1080) with no sanitization or restrictions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary user meta fields on their own accounts, including sensitive fields like wp_user_level (to escalate to administrator-level legacy checks), plugin-specific authorization flags (e.g., _wpuf_user_active, aiowps_account_status), and billing/profile fields with unsanitized values (potentially enabling Stored XSS in admin contexts). Note that wp_capabilities cannot be directly exploited this way because it requires a serialized array value, but wp_user_level (a simple integer) and numerous plugin-specific meta keys are exploitable.
