Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Revanth Hari Narayana Matte.
The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to 3.2.6 (exclusive). This is due to a loose comparison that bypasses an email verification code check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges by taking over another user's account.
