MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the site runs the Pie Register plugin with its invitation-code registration feature in use, and that the attacker knows at least one valid invitation code for that site - this knowledge requirement is the primary limiting factor and the reason CVSS assigns AC:H. No authentication or user interaction is needed (PR:N/UI:N), so once a valid code is known any remote visitor can pull the report. Impact is limited to disclosure of usernames and email addresses of users registered under that specific code; no other data, write access, or service disruption results. Sites that keep invitation codes strictly private and short-lived materially reduce realistic exposure. |
| Impact | This is a low-severity information-disclosure issue (CVE-2026-96962, CWE-200) that is a genuine but non-urgent priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 3.7) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw, but the High attack complexity reflects a real barrier: the attacker must already know a valid invitation code, and only low-confidentiality data (usernames and emails) is exposed with no integrity or availability impact. Multiple signals agree that this is not a high-urgency item: EPSS is 0.14% (3rd percentile, very low exploitation probability), it is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and the SSVC decision framework rates Exploitation as 'none', Automatable as 'no', and Technical Impact as only 'partial'. The one signal pointing the other way is that public exploit code exists (published by WPScan), but POC availability is a distinct signal from active exploitation and the SSVC 'Exploitation: none' rating indicates no observed in-the-wild activity. The low EPSS combined with POC availability is consistent with a disclosed-but-not-widely-weaponized bug. Net: a legitimate privacy/data-leak defect worth patching in routine cycles, not an emergency; the main real-world risk is targeted enumeration of registered users rather than mass automated exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained a valid invitation code (e.g. a shared or leaked registration link) sends an unauthenticated request to the plugin's invitation-code report endpoint and retrieves the usernames and email addresses of every user who registered using that code. Public exploit code for this is available via WPScan. The High attack complexity means the attack is gated on first knowing a valid code, so it is most plausible against sites that distribute invitation codes semi-publicly or where a code has leaked. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 03, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in the Pie Register WordPress plugin (versions before 3.8.4.14) lets any remote visitor who knows a valid invitation code retrieve the usernames and email addresses of every user who registered with that code. The flaw is an access-control gap in the plugin's invitation-code report, which lacks a capability or ownership check before returning registration data (CWE-200). Exploitation is constrained by the requirement to already know a valid invitation code - the reason CVSS assigns AC:H and a low base score of 3.7 - and although publicly available exploit code exists, there is no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) and EPSS is only 0.14% (3rd percentile).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Pie Register to version 3.8.4.14 or later, which is the fixed release identified in the affected-version data and referenced through the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/bf634ddf-277e-46a4-9e5b-7253b3e02979/); verify the update through the WordPress plugin repository or the vendor's distribution channel and confirm the plugin version in wp-admin after applying it. If immediate patching is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to disable the invitation-code registration feature entirely, since the vulnerable report path is only reachable when that feature is in use - the trade-off is that you lose invitation-gated registration and must fall back to standard registration or an alternative gating method. A secondary mitigation is to invalidate and rotate all existing invitation codes and keep any newly issued codes strictly private and short-lived, which reduces but does not eliminate the risk because any single leaked code still exposes the full user list registered under it; this trades off the convenience of broadly shared codes. Where the plugin's routing allows it, restrict access to the report endpoint (for example via web-server or WAF rules blocking direct requests to the plugin's report handler) so that unauthenticated requests are rejected, at the cost of additional configuration and possible breakage of legitimate admin reporting workflows. Given the low severity (CVSS 3.7, EPSS 0.14%, no KEV and no confirmed active exploitation), remediation can be scheduled as routine maintenance rather than emergency response, but note that publicly available exploit code exists, so unpatched sites with invitation codes in active use should prioritize rotating those codes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Pie Register is a WordPress plugin that provides front-end user registration and login, including an invitation-code mode where registrations are tied to a shared or distributed code. The vulnerable component is the invitation-code report functionality, which aggregates the users who registered under a given code and returns their username and email address without verifying that the requester is authenticated or otherwise authorized to view that report - a classic missing-access-control exposure classed as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N confirms the request is network-reachable with no privileges and no user interaction required, but the High Attack Complexity reflects the prerequisite that the attacker must already possess a valid invitation code; impact is confined to confidentiality (partial) with no integrity or availability effect. The supplied CPE (cpe:2.3:a:unknown:pie_register:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) carries an unassigned vendor, so version-range pinning relies on the EUVD data (0 to <3.8.4.14) rather than authoritative CPE version fields, and the issue was reported through WPScan's WordPress vulnerability program.

The Pie Register WordPress plugin before 3.8.4.14 does not restrict access to an invitation-code report, allowing unauthenticated visitors who know a valid invitation code to obtain the username and email address of every user who registered with that code.
