CVE-2026-94256 Details
Description
The SMS Alert WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not verify that the account being logged in is the one the verified one-time code belongs to, allowing unauthenticated attackers to sign in as any user with a stored phone number, including an administrator, by completing a code challenge on a phone they control.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in the SMS Alert WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 4.0.1. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly verify that the account being logged in matches the one associated with the verified one-time code. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user with a registered phone number, including administrators, by completing a code challenge using a phone they control. Exploitation requires the plugin's OTP login feature to be enabled, which is not the default.
Users are advised to update the SMS Alert WordPress plugin to version 4.0.1 or later.
