Account takeover via unverified email activation
Published Nov 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in JobSearch WP Job Board 2.6.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over any account with a known email. The user_account_activation function verifies an email address without properly verifying the requester's identity, then permits login as the account tied to that address. No authentication is required, but the target user's email address must be known; an administrator address yields administrator access and site control.
