Vulnerability Overview

The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Email Verification and Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.4 via the use of insufficiently random activation code. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the email verification, and if both the "Login the user automatically after the account is verified" and "Verify account for current users" options are checked, then it potentially makes it possible for attackers to bypass authentication for other users.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.7.5, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-330 (Use of Insufficiently Random Values) The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers.
