CVE-2026-7458
User Verification by PickPlugins <= 2.0.46 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via OTP Verification REST API Endpoint
The User Verification by PickPlugins plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.46. This is due to the use of a loose PHP comparison operator to validate OTP codes in the "user_verification_form_wrap_process_otpLogin" function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user with a verified email address, such as an administrator, by submitting a "true" OTP value.
