CVE-2026-123696 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-11

The Security For WooCommerce WordPress plugin fails to verify that a user is authorized before allowing two-factor authentication to be reset on any account. An attacker can disable two-factor authentication on any user's account without authentication, allowing them to take over accounts that rely on this security control. This could lead to unauthorized access to e-commerce stores and customer data theft.
