The User Session Synchronizer plugin for WordPress is critically vulnerable to an authentication bypass, allowing unauthenticated attackers to take over user accounts, including administrators. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2026-15341, affects all versions up to and including 1.4.0. It arises from the `synchronize_session()` function, which fails to validate attacker-supplied parameters, leading to predictable encryption keys. Attackers can exploit this flaw by sending crafted requests with known user email addresses, thereby gaining full authentication without prior knowledge of site secrets. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 9.8, indicating a critical severity level. Currently, there is no public proof-of-concept or evidence of active exploitation. Users are advised to update the plugin or disable it if not in use, and restrict access to WordPress admin areas while patches are being deployed.
