{"cve":"CVE-2026-19125","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-23T22:16:56.683","modified":"2026-09-24T14:42:02.707","status":"Deferred","description":"The EthPress – Web3 Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.5. This is due to the verify_login() function in app/Login.php containing a missing return statement in the signature verification failure branch — when Signature::verify2() reports a mismatch, the function only assigns a WP_Error to a local variable and continues executing, causing unconditional fall-through to the login block where Address::log_in() calls wp_set_auth_cookie() regardless of whether the submitted signature is valid. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any WordPress user who has a linked wallet address — including administrators — by submitting that user's public wallet address alongside an arbitrary well-formed signature, enabling full site takeover.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-287"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ethpress/tags/2.3.5/app/Address.php#L419","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ethpress/tags/2.3.5/app/Login.php#L46","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ethpress/tags/2.3.5/app/Login.php#L51","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ethpress/tags/2.3.5/app/Plugin.php#L75","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3683106/ethpress/trunk/app/Login.php"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-19125","score":0.00697,"percentile":0.53065,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
