| Description | The Customer Email Verification for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.2.6 does not correctly validate the email-verification activation code, relying on a loose comparison that an attacker can satisfy with a crafted value type, allowing unauthenticated users to verify and take over the account of any registered user who has not yet confirmed their email address. |
