# WholesaleX WordPress plugin: unauthenticated account activation bypasses admin approval

The WholesaleX WordPress plugin before 3.0.9 compares a supplied confirmation code against a stored one without first checking that the stored code exists. An unauthenticated visitor can therefore activate pending accounts and log in without administrator approval.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed WholesaleX version in the WordPress admin plugin list or with `wp plugin get wholesalex --field=version`
- Review whether pending wholesale accounts are awaiting admin approval before login

## Fix

- Update the WholesaleX plugin to `3.0.9` or later
- Review wholesale accounts activated since the plugin was last updated and confirm each was approved by an administrator

## From the sources

The WholesaleX  WordPress plugin before 3.0.9 does not check that a stored account confirmation code is set before comparing it with the one supplied in a request, allowing unauthenticated users to activate pending accounts and bypass the administrator approval required before login.
