  • Aug 30, 2026MyHome Core: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-15980 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The MyHome Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.5. This is due to missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper token validation in the activate() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed user account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for that account, including administrators. Successful exploitation requires the MyHome theme to be configured in legacy/WPBakery mode with frontend registration and confirmation email enabled, and the target account must not already have the myhome_agent_confirmed user meta set.

  • Aug 29, 2026Custom User Registration Fields for WooCommerce: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-15369 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Custom User Registration Fields for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.2.3. This is due to the plugin accepting an attacker-controlled afreg_select_user_role value from the unauthenticated WooCommerce Store API /wc/store/v1/checkout request in the af_reg_checkout_data_to_order_meta_data_block() function, persisting it in order meta, and then passing it directly to WP_User::add_role() in the af_reg_custom_order_processing_function() function (hooked to woocommerce_thankyou) without validating against the plugin's admin-configured allowed role list. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator by creating an account during checkout with a modified JSON body specifying administrator (or any other role slug) as the desired role. Note: The exploit requires the "User Role Selection" setting to be enabled.

  • Aug 29, 2026SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-75807 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.5

    The SAML Single Sign On – SSO Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to, and including, 5.4.6. This is due to the mo_saml_login_validate() ACS handler persisting the X.509 certificate extracted from an incoming SAMLResponse into the mo_saml_required_certificate option before the signature-validation verdict is enforced, because mo_saml_find_certificate() returns false on a fingerprint mismatch rather than halting execution. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the plugin's stored IdP signing certificate with an attacker-controlled value, and subsequently forge SAML assertions for any WordPress account — including administrators — to obtain a fully privileged session. Note: The exploit requires the administrator to perform a repair after receiving the test_config_error_wpsamlerr004 error message during the test configuration.

  • Aug 29, 2026Sigma Forms Pro: Remote Code ExecutionCVE-2026-14494 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Sigma Forms Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5 via the handle_form_submission function. This is due to the plugin dynamically granting the unfiltered_upload capability to all users during form submissions and bypassing MIME type validation when allowed_file_types is not configured. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Several default pre-built templates including Job Application, Support Ticket, and Wholesale Application have file upload fields with no file type restrictions configured by design, making this vulnerability immediately exploitable upon installation.

    Sigma Forms Pro

    The Uix UserCenter WordPress plugin through 1.0.3 does not verify that the account being modified through an unauthenticated profile-update action belongs to the requester, and it authenticates that action with a token whose signing key is hardcoded and identical across every install, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge a token for any user, overwrite an administrator's email and password, and take over the account.

  • Aug 29, 2026MemberHero: Does not restrictCVE-2026-10522 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WPScanCritical 9.8

    The MemberHero WordPress plugin through 6.9 does not restrict which account fields can be supplied during its frontend registration process, allowing unauthenticated attackers to register a new user with an arbitrary role, including Administrator, leading to a full site takeover. Version 6.9 is advertised as resolving this issue, but the fix is incomplete and the current version remains exploitable by unauthenticated attackers to obtain administrator access and to take over existing accounts. No version that fully addresses the issue is available at the time of this advisory. Mitigation: deactivate and remove the MemberHero WordPress plugin through 6.9 until a version that fully resolves this issue is released. If the MemberHero WordPress plugin through 6.9 must stay active, disable public registration, restrict access to the registration functionality, and monitor the site for unexpected administrator accounts.
