CVE-2026-12595: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in LoginPress LoginPress Pro
LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress up to and including version 6.2.3 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. The flaw occurs in the Discord OAuth login handler, which accepts unverified email addresses from Discord without validating the email verification status. This allows attackers to impersonate any WordPress user by registering a Discord account with an unverified email matching the target's WordPress email and completing the OAuth flow, gaining authenticated access including administrator accounts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-12595 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in LoginPress Pro for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 6.2.3. The vulnerability arises because the loginpress_on_discord_login() function accepts the email field from Discord's /users/@me endpoint without verifying the 'verified' flag on the email profile. It then maps this email directly to a local WordPress user account and issues an authenticated session cookie. This improper authentication check (CWE-287) enables unauthenticated attackers to take over any existing WordPress account by exploiting unverified Discord email addresses that match the target user's registered email.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and gain full access to any WordPress account, including administrator accounts. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site, potentially leading to complete site takeover.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling Discord OAuth login integration or restricting login methods to trusted authentication providers. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly when available.
