MyHome Core <= 4.4.5 — Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover via Activation Token

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under MyHome Core.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
• No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

1. Update to version 4.4.6, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch MyHome Core to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Rafie Muhammad.

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.
