CVE-2026-12988 Details
Description
The WP 2FA WordPress plugin before 3.1.1.2 does not verify that the email address supplied during two-factor authentication setup belongs to the user, allowing an attacker who has obtained a user's credentials to redirect the setup verification code to an attacker-controlled email address and take over the account.
A vulnerability exists in the WP 2FA WordPress plugin in versions prior to 3.1.1.2, where the plugin fails to verify that the email address provided during two-factor authentication (2FA) setup belongs to the user. This flaw allows an attacker who has gained access to a user's credentials to redirect the 2FA setup verification code to an email address controlled by the attacker, potentially leading to account takeover.
Users are advised to update the WP 2FA WordPress plugin to version 3.1.1.2 or later.
