Docs Customer Email Verification Changelog

Changelog

Version 2.9.4

Latest
  • Feature – Disposable / temporary email blocking (~3,000 bundled domains, admin-defined add list, customizable rejection message)
  • Feature – DNS-based MX record validation with 24h per-domain transient cache
  • Feature – Custom email rules — B2B Allowlist (only specified domains can sign up) + Block specific email addresses
  • Feature – Auto-cleanup of stale unverified records in wp_cev_user_log via daily cron
  • Feature – Auto-delete unverified WP user accounts via daily cron, with built-in safeguards (skip users with orders, active subscriptions, elevated roles, recent login, or already verified). Hard 30-day minimum retention. Preview before run.
  • Feature – Re-engagement reminder emails — automatically email unverified users at admin-selected intervals (1h / 24h / 3d / 7d) with a fully customizable email (edited via the email customizer). Per-row + bulk manual send also available from the Unverified Users table.
  • Feature – Bulk delete + CSV export on the Unverified Users tab.
  • Improvement – Redesigned the Unverified Users table with a cleaner, more professional look — colored avatar + name + email stacked in a single Customer column, friendly relative time, and a unified actions menu.
  • Dev – Tested with WooCommerce 10.7.0

Version 2.9.3

Version 2.9.2

  • Fix – Snapshot the cart total at the moment the OTP is sent and store it in the session. At validation time, compare against the snapshot instead of the live cart total. If the cart has changed, require re-verification.
  • Fix – Return the same generic response for existing-but-unverified and new-email paths so an attacker cannot distinguish between them. Only keep ‘already_verified’ as a distinct code since it is needed for UX.
  • Fix – Add a nonce check at the top of the resend handler using the same nonce the verify handler uses. Return an error if the nonce fails.
  • Fix – “Login Now” Button Not Redirecting to Login Page in CEV PRO Checkout Popup
  • Fix – Disable WooCommerce Store API Checkout not blocking Block checkout
  • Fix – Logged-in users with unverified emails can no longer bypass checkout email verification
  • Improvement – Replace mt_rand() with random_int() in the PIN generation loop. random_int() uses a CSPRNG and is safe for security-sensitive token generation.
  • Improvement – Add a per-email or per-session attempt counter. After 5 failed attempts, invalidate the current PIN and force the user to request a new one. Return an error telling the user their code has expired due to too many attempts.
