CVE-2026-5229

CRITICAL
9.8NVD

Summary

generated automatically from NVD data

The Form Notify plugin for WordPress, in versions up to and including 1.1.10, has an authentication bypass (CWE-287) in its LINE OAuth login. When LINE returns no email address, the plugin takes the account to log in from the user-controlled 'form_notify_line_email' cookie without checking that the LINE account matches that email. An unauthenticated attacker can complete a LINE OAuth flow with their own account while injecting a victim's email in the cookie, gaining access to any user account, including administrators. The CVSS v3.1 score is 9.8 (CRITICAL).

NVD description

The Form Notify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in versions up to and including 1.1.10. This is due to the plugin trusting user-controlled cookie data to determine which WordPress account to authenticate after a LINE OAuth login. When LINE doesn't provide an email address (which is common), the plugin falls back to reading the 'form_notify_line_email' cookie value without verifying that the LINE account is associated with that email address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain access to any user account on the site, including administrator accounts, by completing a LINE OAuth flow with their own LINE account while injecting a malicious cookie containing the target victim's email address.
