MyHome Core permits unauthenticated takeover of unconfirmed accounts
MyHome Core through 4.4.5 omits authorization from the send_link() AJAX handler and improperly validates activation tokens in activate(). An unauthenticated attacker can generate an activation token for an unconfirmed account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for it, including an Administrator account. Exploitation requires the MyHome theme in legacy/WPBakery mode with frontend registration and confirmation email enabled, and the target account must not already have the myhome_agent_confirmed user metadata set.

Technical description
The MyHome Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.5. This is due to missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper token validation in the activate() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed user account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for that account, including administrators. Successful exploitation requires the MyHome theme to be configured in legacy/WPBakery mode with frontend registration and confirmation email enabled, and the target account must not already have the myhome_agent_confirmed user meta set.
