High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-15240

The Customer Switching WordPress plugin before 2.1.3 does not securely bind an active user-switching session to the operator who initiated it, allowing a lower-privileged account that an operator is currently switched into to be resolved as that operator and to switch into any permitted account, including an administrator, resulting in full account takeover.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
The authentication mechanism can be bypassed, letting an attacker pose as a legitimate user.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
