{"id":"CVE-2026-109236","published":"2026-10-28T06:16:33.237","lastModified":"2026-10-28T06:16:33.237","description":"The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via a Predictable Email-Verification Token in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.2. This is due to the `authenticate_user_by_email_link()` function — hooked on the `wp` action and triggered by the `cusomer_email_verify` GET parameter — lacking any capability check or nonce verification, while the `secret_code` it validates is generated as `md5(email . time())` and the `verify_otp_nonce` required to trigger token issuance via the `wp_ajax_nopriv_resend_otp` handler is emitted to every front-end visitor through `wp_localize_script`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as a newly created, verified WooCommerce customer bound to an arbitrary email address — or to flip an existing account's `customer_email_verified` meta to verified — fully bypassing the plugin's core email-verification control. Exploitation requires the `cev_user_log` table to contain a `password` column, which is absent from the fresh-install schema shipped in version 2.8.2 but is present on sites upgraded from an older version where that column was defined.","cvssScore":4.8,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","cwes":["CWE-287"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/tags/2.8.2/includes/class-wc-customer-email-verification-signup.php#L119","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/tags/2.8.2/includes/class-wc-customer-email-verification-signup.php#L151","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/tags/2.8.2/includes/class-wc-customer-email-verification-signup.php#L274","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/tags/2.8.2/includes/class-wc-customer-email-verification-signup.php#L580","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/tags/2.8.2/includes/class-wc-customer-email-verification-signup.php#L616","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/tags/2.8.3/includes/class-wc-customer-email-verification-signup.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://wordpress.org/plugins/customer-email-verification-for-woocommerce/#developers","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/a2e9fa74-5501-4429-a500-1d4199571a34?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
