CVE-2026-15980 is an authentication-bypass vulnerability in the MyHome Core plugin for WordPress. Missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper activation-token validation in activate() allow an unauthenticated attacker to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed account and exchange it for a valid authenticated session cookie. The issue affects MyHome Core versions through 4.4.5, inclusive.
