User Verification by PickPlugins <= 2.0.46 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via OTP Verification REST API Endpoint_CVE-2026-7458

{
    "lastseen": "",
    "description": "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.",
