Unauthenticated account takeover via unchecked authorization cookie
Published Aug 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Authentication bypass in uxper Golo 1.7.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over any account by supplying its email address. The login path sets a WordPress authorization cookie for the account associated with a supplied email address without first validating the requester's identity. No authentication or user interaction is required; knowledge of an administrator's email address grants administrator access.
