CVE-2020-36724 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the Wordable plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 3.1.1. This flaw stems from improper handling of user-supplied hashing algorithms and loose hash comparisons, allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain administrator privileges. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical), it presents a high-impact, low-complexity attack vector. While no public exploit code, Metasploit modules, or active exploitation have been identified, and community discussion is minimal, the potential for complete compromise of affected WordPress sites remains significant.
