CVE-2026-15980: MyHome Core plugin lets attackers take over user accounts
CVE-2026-15980 · published 4 days ago
Summary
The MyHome Core add‑on for WordPress lets anyone create a special link that logs in as any user, even an administrator, if the site uses the older WPBakery setup with front‑end registration turned on. This means an attacker could gain full control of the website without a password. Disable front‑end registration or upgrade to a version where the flaw is fixed, and ensure only trusted users can register.

Original advisory text
MyHome Core <= 4.4.5 - Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover via Activation Token
The MyHome Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.5. This is due to missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper token validation in the activate() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed user account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for that account, including administrators. Successful exploitation requires the MyHome theme to be configured in legacy/WPBakery mode with frontend registration and confirmation email enabled, and the target account must not already have the myhome_agent_confirmed user meta set.
