MEDIUM CVE-2026-19709 Deferred

Membership For WooCommerce accepts an empty API secret and exposes membership records

Membership For WooCommerce before 3.1.2 compares a request secret without first confirming that the site generated an API consumer secret. On a site where the API is enabled but no keys were created, an unauthenticated request can pass that check, reach the plugin's REST routes and disclose any user's membership-plan details.

Technical description

The Membership For WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.1.2 does not check that an API consumer secret has actually been generated before comparing it against the one supplied in a request, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reach its REST routes and disclose any user's membership plan details on sites where the API has been enabled but no keys were ever generated.
