Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-05 06:32 – Updated: 2026-09-05 06:32

Details

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.

Title

Theme My Login <= 7.1.15 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Missing Authorization to Unauthorized Multisite Subsite Creation via 'gimmeanotherblog' Signup Stage

Summary

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`.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
