8.8 HIGHPublished 2026-10-11 · Updated 2026-10-13
AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The Disable Users WordPress plugin fails to properly enforce account disabling across all authentication paths, allowing disabled administrators to maintain full access to their accounts. This represents a critical authorization bypass vulnerability where disabled users can continue using their privileges despite being explicitly disabled by administrators.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation is straightforward for any disabled user who retains valid credentials, requiring no special conditions or prerequisites beyond having access to the compromised account.
- Blast radius
- The impact could be severe as disabled administrators retain full administrative privileges, potentially allowing attackers to maintain persistent access and perform privileged actions even after account disabling.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to version 1.0.6 or later of the Disable Users plugin to address this authorization bypass vulnerability.
