What is CVE-2026-9273?

The Kadence Memberships plugin for WordPress suffers from a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit password reset link functionality. This issue, stemming from the legacy lost-password handler, allows attackers to inject controlled parameters which can redirect victims to malicious sites. When users interact with the crafted password reset link, attackers can capture the reset key and gain unauthorized access to user accounts, including those of administrators. It's crucial for users of this plugin to update to the latest version to mitigate the risk of account takeover.
