CVE-2026-14836

Login/Signup Popup < 3.2.5 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover via Password Reset Rate Limit Bypass

Published Aug 1, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin before 3.2.5 does not properly enforce the rate limit on its password-reset verification-code flow, keying both the verification code and the per-source attempt counter on an unauthenticated, client-controlled value, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset the limit at will and brute-force the code to take over any account, including administrators, when the verification-code reset mode is enabled.
