CVE-2026-44584Network attack vector

Verified-status bypass via stale email verification

Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026

Improper authentication in Paymenter before 1.5.0 allows remote authenticated users to retain verified status after changing email. The email update path writes the new address without clearing or revalidating the account's verification column, leaving it true. A previously verified account is required; the flaw enables false email-ownership claims and verified-only feature access, but not access to other accounts or data.
