This CVE was published Jul 06, 2026 and is one of 27 known issues for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update Simple Membership to 4.7.5 or later, or disable and remove it until a fixed version is available.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Technical description

The Simple Membership WordPress plugin before 4.7.5 does not verify the authenticity of Stripe webhook requests when no signing secret is configured, nor escape a value taken from them before outputting it in an administrator notice, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of a logged-in administrator.
