CVE-2024-4185Network attack vector

Authentication bypass via insufficiently random activation codes

Published Apr 30, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Authentication bypass in WPFactory Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce 2.7.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to verify accounts. The activation-code generator issues insufficiently random values and accepts a matching value to mark the associated account verified. When automatic login after verification and verification for current users are both enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can obtain another user's authenticated session.
