Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce along with Bookings Subscription Listings Compatible plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.25 via the 'wcfm_delete_wcfm_customer' due to missing validation on the 'customerid' user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Vendor-level access and above, to delete arbitrary users, including Administrators.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The WCFM Frontend Manager plugin for WordPress contains an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the wcfm_delete_wcfm_customer function. The 'customerid' parameter is not validated or authorized, allowing any authenticated user with Vendor-level access or higher to delete arbitrary WordPress users, including Administrators.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to version 6.7.26 or later which includes proper authorization validation on the customerid parameter. Until then, restrict Vendor-level permissions and monitor for suspicious user deletion activity.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm WCFM Frontend Manager plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and locate 'WCFM - Frontend Manager for WooCommerce' or check the plugin files for version information in the plugin header comment
    Affected if Plugin is not installed or cannot be found, then not affected by this CVE
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    View the plugin version number in the Plugins list or read the main plugin file header (usually wcfm.php) to extract the Version field
    Affected if Version is lower than 6.7.26 (e.g., 6.7.25, 6.7.x series below 6.7.26, or earlier major versions)
  3. Verify Vendor or higher user roles exist
    Navigate to WordPress Users menu and examine user roles. Check for users assigned the 'Vendor' role provided by WCFM, or any custom roles with elevated capabilities
    Affected if At least one user account has Vendor-level access or higher (Shop Manager, Vendor, or custom elevated roles)
  4. Review user deletion activity in audit logs
    Check WordPress activity logs, WCFM-specific logs, or server access logs for calls to the wcfm_delete_wcfm_customer endpoint (typically via POST to /?wc-ajax=wcfm_delete_wcfm_customer)
    Affected if Recent or historical user deletion events exist that were performed by users without Administrator privileges

A user is affected if the WCFM Frontend Manager plugin version is below 6.7.26 AND at least one user with Vendor-level or higher access exists in the WordPress environment, allowing potential exploitation of the unprotected customerid parameter.
