Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-41956 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: smp7, wp.insider Simple Membership. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41956/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41956/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41956","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41956/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41956","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6mf2-2736-w39m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can take over accounts in the Simple Membership WordPress plugin due to improper authentication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"simple_membership","vendor":"simple-membership-plugin"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Improper Authentication vulnerability in smp7, wp.Insider Simple Membership.This issue affects Simple Membership: from n/a through 4.3.4.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Simple Membership plugin \u003c= 4.3.4 - Authenticated Account Takeover vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41956","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Simple Membership plugin \u003c= 4.3.4 - Unauthenticated Membership Role Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41957"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Essential Addons for Elementor plugin \u003c= 5.8.8 - Contributor+ Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41955"},"products":["Simple Membership"],"published":"2024-05-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Simple Membership \u003c 4.1.3 - Unauthenticated Membership Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-2317","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Simple Membership \u003c 4.1.3 - Membership Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-2273","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10884","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-14328","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-28"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"WordPress Simple Membership plugin \u003c= 4.3.4 - Unauthenticated Membership Role Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-41957","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Simple Membership \u003c= 4.3.5 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-4719","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["smp7, wp.insider"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can take over accounts in the Simple Membership WordPress plugin due to improper authentication.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41956/"}
