WPMU duplicating users into different Sites

    Hi,

    I found a possible security issue that is causing critical errors on my MultiSite.

    If I as a “Super Admin” user, open in different web windows different sub-sites main pages (Site A, Site B and Site C) and try to “switch to” a “user1” of “Site D“, while I navigate as “user1” nothing happens (everything is ok). BTW I use the “User Switching” plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-switching/ (Network activated).

    But if during that process (before switching back) I just click on any of the “Site A, B or C” windows, the system automatically creates the same “user1” into those Sites. So finally I have the same “user1” created on all those Sites.

    Maybe you know why this is happening?

    Thank you very much.

    I’m assuming you mean that user1 is ADDED to a site, not created. Created would mean a brand new user which this plugin DOES NOT do ?? Added means that user1 is added a as a user to the site.

    How did you configure this plugin?

    If you set it up so logged in users are Auto-Added to new sites they visit, then this is 100% as it should be. You’re a logged in user. You get added. That would be expected behavior.
