CVE-2025-47461Network attack vector

Subscriber-level account takeover through broken authentication

Published May 23, 2025 · Updated May 12, 2026

Broken authentication in Subaccounts for WooCommerce 1.6.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to take over accounts. The vendor changelog states only that 1.6.7 fixes broken authentication, and no public source names the flawed request path, function, or validation check. Subscriber access is required, and successful abuse grants control of another WordPress account without user interaction.
