Account takeover via loose activation-code comparison
Published Aug 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authentication bypass in WPWeb Elite WooCommerce Social Login 2.7.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over existing accounts. The woo_slg_confirm_email_user function uses loose equality for an attacker-supplied activation code instead of requiring an exact match before establishing the requested user's session. The email module must be enabled and the attacker must know the target user ID; an administrator ID grants administrative account access.
