What is CVE-2024-12919?

The Paid Membership Subscriptions plugin for WordPress is susceptible to an Authentication Bypass vulnerability across all versions prior to 2.13.7. The issue arises from the pms_pb_payment_redirect_link function, which inadequately uses the user-controlled 'pms_payment_id' parameter for user authentication, lacking sufficient identity validation. This flaw enables attackers to exploit knowledge of a valid payment ID to impersonate any user who has made a purchase on the compromised website, thereby gaining unauthorized access to their accounts.
