CVE ID :CVE-2026-12597<\/p>\n
Published : July 9, 2026, 11:30 p.m. | 18\u00a0minutes ago<\/p>\n
Description :The LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via the GitHub OAuth callback in versions up to, and including, 6.2.3. The vulnerability exists in the loginpress_on_github_login() function, which blindly trusts the first element (profile[0][’email’]) of the array returned by GitHub’s \/user\/emails endpoint as an account-binding identifier without verifying that the email carries a verified === true status. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user, including administrators, by adding an unverified email address matching a local account to their GitHub profile and triggering the OAuth callback via a crafted code parameter \u2014 causing the plugin to call get_user_by(’email’, …) and establish an authenticated session for the matched account. Practical exploitation is conditional on GitHub returning the attacker-added unverified email at index 0 of the \/user\/emails response, as GitHub typically prioritizes the primary verified address first; nonetheless, the absence of any email verification check in the plugin constitutes a fundamental authentication bypass flaw.<\/p>\n
Severity: 0.0 | NA<\/p>\n
