CVE-2026-10530: CWE-326 Inadequate Encryption Strength in Pie Register
The Pie Register WordPress plugin before 3.8.4.10 does not use sufficiently random values when generating its account verification tokens, allowing unauthenticated attackers to predict a valid token and activate an account without access to the associated email inbox.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10530 identifies a vulnerability in the Pie Register WordPress plugin where the account verification tokens are generated with inadequate randomness (CWE-326). This cryptographic weakness enables attackers to predict valid tokens, bypassing the intended email verification process and activating accounts without email confirmation. The issue affects versions prior to 3.8.4.10.
Potential Impact
An attacker can activate user accounts without access to the email inbox of the account owner by predicting the verification token. This undermines the account verification mechanism, potentially allowing unauthorized account activations and associated misuse of the system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Users should monitor the vendor's announcements for an official fix or update to address the token generation randomness issue.
