CVE-2026-73995Network attack vector

Subscriber login bypass via missing payment check

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026

Broken authentication in WPEverest User Registration & Membership before 5.2.7 allows remote authenticated users to log in before payment. In includes/class-ur-user-approval.php, UR_User_Approval::check_status_on_login blocked payment-gated logins only when ur_payment_status was non-empty and not completed; 5.2.7 added a ur_requires_payment check, showing that accounts requiring payment but lacking a stored payment state were incorrectly accepted. Exploitation requires Subscriber access to an account configured for payment-based login, and the published record does not show administrator-level compromise beyond bypassing that payment gate.
