CVE-2026-4283Network attack vector

Unauthenticated account destruction via immediate anonymization

Published Mar 24, 2026 · Updated Mar 24, 2026

Missing authorization in legal web GmbH WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) 3.1.38 and earlier allows remote attackers to destroy user accounts. The super-unsubscribe AJAX action trusts an unauthenticated process_now=1 parameter and invokes irreversible anonymization instead of the email-confirmation path. A public nonce from a page containing the unsubscribe_form shortcode is sufficient; the action randomizes the password, overwrites identifiers, strips roles, and wipes user metadata for a non-administrator account.
