CVE-2026-92885

AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The Qode Membership WordPress plugin (≤2.0.6.2) contains a typo in Facebook OAuth verification that renders authentication checks ineffective: an undefined variable ($check_social_useqoder) causes empty() to always return true, bypassing Graph API token validation and allowing unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user—including administrators—by supplying a known login name via the qode_membership_check_facebook_user AJAX endpoint.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires harvesting a valid qode_validate_facebook_login nonce from any page containing [qode_user_login] or [qode_user_register], but otherwise needs no authentication, privileges, or user interaction.
- Blast radius
- Successful exploitation grants full account takeover of any WordPress account—including administrative accounts—enabling complete site compromise, data exfiltration, and persistence.
- Detection
- Look for POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=qode_membership_check_facebook_user containing a valid qode_validate_facebook_login nonce and a response[email] parameter matching an existing WordPress login name (not email); such requests are abnormal because legitimate Facebook logins would not use this endpoint with a login name.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to Qode Membership version 2.0.6.3 or later, which corrects the typo by replacing $check_social_useqoder with $check_social_user in the verification guard.

NVD description
The Qode Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6.2 via the qode_membership_check_facebook_user AJAX action. This is due to a typographic error in the Facebook OAuth token verification guard within the qode_membership_login_user_from_social_network function — the guard condition tests an undefined variable ($check_social_useqoder instead of $check_social_user), causing empty() to always return true and rendering the Graph API token verification branch dead code, leaving wp_set_auth_cookie() reachable with no credential or token validation whatsoever. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress account — including Administrator-level accounts — by supplying a known or enumerated administrator login name (rather than an email address) in the response[email] parameter, which the fallback path in get_user_by('login', $email) resolves to the matching account. Exploitation does require harvesting a valid qode_validate_facebook_login nonce, but this nonce is rendered on any public front-end page containing the [qode_user_login] or [qode_user_register] shortcode and is therefore obtainable without any prior authentication.
