CVE-2026-15980

CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The MyHome Core plugin for WordPress up to version 4.4.5 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. This is due to missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper token validation in the activate() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed user account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for that account, including administrators.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over an administrator account, leading to full compromise of the WordPress site. However, a specific configuration of the MyHome theme (legacy/WPBakery mode) and enabled frontend registration and confirmation email are required.

Recommendation

Update the MyHome Core plugin to the latest patched version. If updating is not possible, consider disabling legacy/WPBakery mode or frontend registration.

Original NVD description (English source)

The MyHome Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.5. This is due to missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper token validation in the activate() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed user account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for that account, including administrators. Successful exploitation requires the MyHome theme to be configured in legacy/WPBakery mode with frontend registration and confirmation email enabled, and the target account must not already have the myhome_agent_confirmed user meta set.
