CVE-2026-2144 Details
Description
The Magic Login Mail or QR Code plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.05. This is due to the plugin storing the magic login QR code image with a predictable, static filename (QR_Code.png) in the publicly accessible WordPress uploads directory during the email sending process. The file is only deleted after wp_mail() completes, creating an exploitable race condition window. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger a login link request for any user, including administrators, and then exploit the race condition between QR code file creation and deletion to obtain the login URL encoded in the QR code, thereby gaining unauthorized access to the targeted user's account.
A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the Magic Login Mail or QR Code plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.05. The vulnerability arises because the plugin saves the magic login QR code image with a static filename in the publicly accessible WordPress uploads directory. This file is only removed after the email sending process is complete, creating a race condition. Exploiting this flaw, unauthenticated attackers can request a login link for any user, including administrators, and take advantage of the timing issue to intercept the login URL encoded in the QR code, gaining unauthorized access to the user's account.
Users are advised to uninstall the affected plugin and seek a replacement, as no patch is currently available.
