CVE-2026-12598: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in LoginPress LoginPress Pro
LoginPress Pro plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 6.2.3 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass via its Spotify Social Login addon. The vulnerability arises because the plugin trusts the unverified 'email' field returned by Spotify's API without verifying ownership. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user, including administrators, by creating a Spotify account with the victim's email and authenticating through Spotify.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-12598 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in LoginPress Pro's Spotify Social Login addon. The function loginpress_on_spotify_login() uses the 'email' field from Spotify's /v1/me endpoint to identify WordPress users without verifying that the Spotify user owns the email address. Since Spotify's profile email is documented as unverified, this allows attackers to impersonate any WordPress user by registering a Spotify account with the target's email and logging in via Spotify, bypassing normal authentication controls.
Potential Impact
An attacker can gain unauthorized access to any WordPress account, including administrator accounts, on sites using vulnerable versions of LoginPress Pro with the Spotify Social Login addon. This leads to full compromise of the affected WordPress site, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider disabling the Spotify Social Login addon to prevent exploitation.
