{"id":"CVE-2026-85984","published":"2026-09-26T18:16:31.010","lastModified":"2026-09-28T15:16:04.793","description":"The miniOrange OTP Login, Verification and SMS Notifications plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via the mo_wp_login_intent parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.5. This is due to a missing password-intent guard in the skip_pass_fallback-enabled configuration branch of the mo_by_pass_login() function, which treats administrator role membership alone as sufficient authentication whenever the unauthenticated, unverified POST parameter mo_wp_login_intent is submitted with the value otp, causing mo_get_user() to skip wp_authenticate_username_password() and resolve a WP_User purely from a username lookup. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing administrator account by supplying only a known username and an empty password alongside mo_wp_login_intent=otp, with no password or OTP verification required. Exploitation is conditional on a site administrator having simultaneously enabled the following plugin options: WP Login OTP, Login with Only OTP, Allow Users to Login with Username and Password, and Admin OTP Bypass.","cvssScore":9.8,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-287"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/miniorange-otp-verification/tags/5.5.5/includes/js/loginform.js#L176","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/miniorange-otp-verification/tags/5.5.5/views/forms/mowploginform.php#L134","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3687601/miniorange-otp-verification","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2895f0c2-41b6-4b11-9865-3bded4402aa9?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication by exploiting the mo_wp_login_intent parameter in the miniOrange OTP plugin, enabling them to log in as any existing administrator account.","exploitability":"Exploitation is conditional on specific plugin settings being enabled, making it moderately difficult to exploit.","blast_radius":"If exploited, the impact is high, as it allows unauthorized access to administrator accounts, potentially leading to full control of the WordPress site.","remediation":"Disable the affected feature or upgrade to version 5.5.6 or later.","detection":"No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.","tags":["auth-bypass","web","wordpress","plugin"],"model":"qwen2.5:7b-instruct","analyzedAt":"2026-09-27T08:53:16.887Z"}}
