Login & Register Forms reuses client-keyed reset verification state
Login & Register Forms 3.2.5 through 4.0.1 keys password-reset verification state to a client-supplied address header rather than binding it to the account and party that completed verification. The state is not consumed after a password change and remains reusable for a day. When verification-code reset mode is enabled and a victim has recently verified a reset, an unauthenticated attacker can reuse that state to change the victim's password repeatedly and take over the account, including an Administrator account.

This CVE was published Aug 10, 2026 and is one of 6 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update to 4.0.2 or later immediately. Until updated, disable verification-code password resets or deactivate the plugin. Review reset activity and privileged accounts, invalidate sessions and rotate credentials when unauthorized password changes are suspected.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
The Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin before 4.0.2 does not bind the password reset verification state to the account being reset or to the party that completed the verification, keying it instead on a value the client controls, allowing unauthenticated attackers to take over the account of any user who recently completed a reset verification, including an administrator.
