CVE-2025-25171Network attack vector

Account takeover via unchecked customer email update

Published Jun 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Authentication bypass in Convers Lab WP SmartPay 2.7.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to take over WordPress accounts. CustomerController.php's update() operation changes an arbitrary user's email address without validating that the requester owns that account. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to change an administrator's email and use the password-reset flow to obtain privileged account access.
