AI-suggested
Users should upgrade to Simple Membership version 4.7.7 or later once available, as the vulnerability affects versions before 4.7.7. If you cannot patch yet, administrators should consider disabling PayPal payment processing or implementing additional verification controls outside the plugin to ensure payment authenticity.
Description
A vulnerability in the Simple Membership WordPress plugin before version 4.7.7 allows unauthenticated users to activate or extend memberships by exploiting insufficient verification of PayPal payment notifications. The plugin does not confirm that the payment notification was sent to the site's configured merchant account, enabling attackers to use payments made to arbitrary PayPal accounts they control.
