What is CVE-2026-15930?
The Simple Membership WordPress plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit a flaw in user creation processes. When an account is created, the plugin fails to verify if this creation was successful before utilizing the returned user ID to update an account. This can lead to unauthorized modifications of the primary administrator's account details, enabling attackers to potentially take full control of the account through the password reset mechanism.
Affected Version(s)
Simple Membership 0 < 4.7.8
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
