Vulnerability Snapshot
CVE-2026-75957 is rated CRITICAL — exploitation is trivial or already observed in the wild and impact is severe. Patch immediately, not on the next maintenance window.
Executive Summary
The Ultimate Multisite – WordPress Multisite SaaS & WaaS Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.0 via the checkout_form parameter of the login_customer_after_checkout function. This is due to the publicly accessible wu_ajax_nopriv_wu_validate_form AJAX handler accepting a freely obtainable checkout nonce, and the checkout_form=wu-finish-checkout parameter causing get_validation_rules() to discard all validation rules while finish_checkout_form_fields() returns an empty step list — forcing is_last_step() to return true and routing the request directly into full order processing — after which maybe_create_customer() resolves the attacker-supplied email_address to an existing WordPress user ID without any authentication or ownership verification, and login_customer_after_checkout() calls wp_set_auth_cookie() for that user ID via a passwordless code path. This makes it possible for unauthenticate
