## Description

The Subscriptions for WooCommerce with Stripe Recurring Payments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Payment Bypass via the My Account subscription 'reactivate' action in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.1, due to the action controller setting the subscription to active without checking its current status. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to reactivate their own expired, cancelled, on-hold or pending (unpaid) subscriptions without paying, which also grants any role or access tied to an active subscription.
