This is due to the `processRegistration()` function using a phone-unbound `$_SESSION['sa_mobile_verified']` boolean flag as the sole gate before issuing an authentication cookie — the flag is set to `true` after any successful OTP validation without being bound to the specific phone number that was verified. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to complete OTP verification for a phone number they control, then resubmit the registration request with a victim's `billing_phone` value to have `wp_set_auth_cookie()` called for the resolved victim account, enabling full authentication as any existing WordPress user whose registered phone number is known or guessable, including administrators.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-288"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/FormInterface.php#L56","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L252","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L602","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L680","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L691"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-15014","score":0.00887,"percentile":0.59299,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
