Did you know we’re running a Bug Bounty Extravaganza again?

On February 21st, 2024, during our second Bug Bounty Extravaganza, an Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability was reported to us in the WP-Members Membership Plugin, which is installed on over 60,000 sites. The vulnerability allows threat actors to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the X-Forwarded-For header, used by the plugin for logging purposes. When viewed by an administrator, the malicious code is executed in the context of the administrator’s browser session and allows for the creation of malicious administrator users as well as changes to an affected site’s settings which could lead to a complete site takeover.
