The Login & Register Forms WordPress plugin before 4.0.2 does not verify that a password reset request comes from the account’s owner and does not adequately redact the address returned in its response. Unauthenticated users can obtain registered users’ email addresses — including administrators’ — by interacting with the reset endpoint.
This flaw serves as the recon step in a three-CVE chain alongside CVE-2026-18469 and CVE-2026-18468 that together enable unauthenticated admin account takeover.
Fix: Update to version 4.0.2.
