Privilege Escalation in WishList Member WordPress Plugin export_settings
CVE-2026-6895 affects the WishList Member plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 3.30.1. The vulnerability is caused by missing capability checks in the plugin's export_settings function, resulting in a missing authorization flaw. By invoking the vulnerable functionality, an attacker can obtain the plugin's REST API Secret Key from an AJAX JSON response. With that secret key, the attacker can authenticate to the WishList Member API, create a new membership level mapped to the WordPress administrator role, and then register an arbitrary administrator-level user account. The issue therefore combines sensitive information disclosure with privilege escalation and can lead to full compromise of the affected WordPress site.
