Unauthenticated account takeover via faulty activation-code validation
Published Oct 11, 2026 · Updated Oct 11, 2026
Authentication bypass in Weborsha Freeton WP 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over accounts via invalid activation codes. The supplied source record identifies incorrect activation-code validation during login; the exact comparison logic and implementing function were not publicly verified. Exploitation requires a known account email address and access to the plugin's authentication flow, and grants access as that account, including administrators.
