FKIE_CVE-2025-9967

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-10-15 09:15 - Updated: 2026-09-26 00:10
Severity
9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
The Orion SMS OTP Verification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's password to a one-time password if the attacker knows the user's phone number

      "value": "El plugin Orion SMS OTP Verification para WordPress es vulnerable a escalada de privilegios mediante toma de control de cuenta en todas las versiones hasta la 1.1.7, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de actualizar su contrase\u00f1a. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados cambien la contrase\u00f1a de cualquier usuario a una contrase\u00f1a de un solo uso si el atacante conoce el n\u00famero de tel\u00e9fono del usuario."
