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.","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/user-verification/trunk/includes/functions-rest.php%23L234?rev=3461175","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/user-verification/trunk/templates/email-otp-login-form/hook.php%23L164?rev=3461175","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/user-verification/trunk/templates/email-otp-login-form/index.php%23L71?rev=3461175","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3519113/user-verification","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/35b86488-8f68-4738-a9a8-76d0b7976165?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-7458","score":0.00578,"percentile":0.4759,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
