What is CVE-2026-14182?

The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce plugin prior to version 3.2.6 exhibits a vulnerability allowing unauthenticated users to bypass email verification mechanisms. This occurs due to inadequate validation of the email-verification activation code, which can be exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted value. As a result, unauthorized individuals may verify their email addresses for accounts of registered users who have not yet confirmed their emails, facilitating account takeover risks.

Affected Version(s)

Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce 2.4.0 < 3.2.6

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
