CVE-2026-15341 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in the User Session Synchronizer plugin for WordPress affecting all versions through 1.4.0. The flaw resides in the synchronize_session() function, which is hooked to init and therefore processes attacker-controlled input on every request. The function accepts ussync-key, ussync-token, and ussync-ref parameters without enforcing nonce validation, capability checks, or shared-secret verification. When the supplied synchronization slot does not exist, option lookups return false values that cause the plugin to fall back to predictable cryptographic material, including an AES-256-CBC key derived from an empty value and a fixed initialization vector. In the same code path, the referer allowlist check degrades in a way that no longer provides meaningful protection. An unauthenticated attacker can therefore craft a valid-looking synchronization request containing a known or guessable user email address and trigger the plugin to invoke WordPress authentication logic for that account, resulting in unauthorized login as the targeted user.
