validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-v32q-5f5q-9x8f ↗EUVD-2026-102666 ↗
description
Theme My Login 7.2.1 and earlier can inadequately verify account ownership during password changes on WordPress multisite sites using certain configurations. An unauthenticated remote attacker may take over another user’s account and obtain that account’s privileges.
mitigation
Upgrade Theme My Login to a release newer than 7.2.1 after confirming it addresses this issue. Until then, deactivate the plugin on affected multisite installations to reduce exposure.
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
