CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-5722 — The MoreConvert Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.14

Critical CVSS 9.8

The MoreConvert Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.14. This is due to the guest waitlist verification flow not invalidating or regenerating verification tokens when the customer email address is changed. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as existing users, including administrators, by obtaining a valid guest verification token for an attacker-controlled email, changing the same guest customer email to the target account email through the public waitlist flow, and then using the original verification link.

Matched remediation archetype

Authentication bypass and missing authentication

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
  • Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
  • Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
  • Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
