Details

WordPress 4.8.2 stores cleartext wpsignups.activationkey values (but stores the analogous wpusers.useractivation_key values as hashes), which might make it easier for remote attackers to hijack unactivated user accounts by leveraging database read access (such as access gained through an unspecified SQL injection vulnerability).
