CVE-2026-5415
A security flaw exists in WP Captcha PRO plugin versions up to 5.38 that allows unauthorized login through a specific vulnerability. This occurs because the plugin doesn't check user permissions when handling temporary links generated by create_temporary_link tool, and instead relies on a nonce check which is accessible to all backend users. As a result, attackers with Subscriber-level access can exploit this weakness to gain full account control over any WordPress user, including Administrators.
Based on public CVE data (MITRE/NVD).
