CVE-2026-83628
The Theme My Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 7.1.15 on Multisite installations.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The Theme My Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 7.1.15 on Multisite installations. This is due to the `tml_ms_signup_handler()` function's `gimmeanotherblog` branch failing to enforce the network's `active_signup` registration policy, checking only `is_user_logged_in()` while sibling branches such as `validate-blog-signup` apply the full policy gate. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to directly POST `stage=gimmeanotherblog` to Theme My Login's signup route, bypassing the configured registration policy entirely — even when it is set to `none` or `user` — which causes `wpmu_create_blog()` to execute with the attacker's user ID, after which WordPress core assigns the Administrator role on the newly created subsite via `add_user_to_blog()`. The privilege gain is scoped to the newly created subsite only; the attacker's account retains Subscriber-level access on the main site and does not obtain Super Admin or network-level capabilities such as `manage_network` or `manage_sites`.
