CVE-2026-5722
CWE-287Published: May 5, 2026· Updated: May 5, 2026
Official Description
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.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-5722 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
