Summary
The User Registration & Membership WordPress plugin before 5.2.2 does not verify the authenticity of incoming payment-provider webhook notifications before acting on them, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge a payment-approved event and activate a paid membership subscription without completing a real payment.
