CVE-2024-9822Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Administrator session access via unrestricted login function

Published Oct 11, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Authentication bypass in Pedalo Connector 2.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain an administrator session without credentials. The login_admin_user function selects the first user, or the first administrator if no first user exists, and authenticates that account without verifying caller credentials. Network access to the WordPress site is sufficient, granting control of the selected administrator account and its permitted site operations.
