Administrator account takeover via unchecked identity login
Published Jun 27, 2025 · Updated Jun 27, 2025
Authentication bypass in Ido Kobelkowsky Simple Payment 1.3.6 through 2.3.8 allows remote attackers to access administrator accounts. The create_user() function logs a requested WordPress account into the current session without first verifying the requester's identity. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation grants the privileges of an existing administrator account.
