CVE-2026-107120 Details
Description
The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 33.0.1 does not limit the number of attempts against its front-end registration email-verification step, which relies on a short numeric PIN, allowing unauthenticated attackers to brute-force the PIN and create and activate a WordPress account bound to an email address they do not own, gaining an authenticated session.
A vulnerability exists in the Contest Gallery WordPress plugin in versions prior to 33.0.1. The plugin's front-end registration process for email verification does not limit the number of attempts, allowing unauthenticated attackers to brute-force a short numeric PIN. This exploitation can lead to the creation and activation of a WordPress account associated with an email address not owned by the attacker, thereby granting access to an authenticated session.
Users are advised to update the Contest Gallery WordPress plugin to version 33.0.1 or later.
