High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-14861

NVD analysis in progress

The User Verification by PickPlugins WordPress plugin through 2.0.47 does not verify that a request to resend a verification email is authorized to act on the supplied user, nor bind the protecting token to that user, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset arbitrary users' email-verification status and lock them, including administrators, out of their accounts.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can take the service offline.
Weakness
Changing an identifier in the request grants access to another user’s data.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
