{"cve":"CVE-2026-96228","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-29T04:18:45.110","modified":"2026-10-29T04:18:45.110","status":"Received","description":"SSL Wireless SMS Notification for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.1. The public final_login_ajax_action handler resolves a user and issues an authenticated session by matching the wp_sslcare_otp table on only the attacker-supplied phone and cap_data, without verifying the SMS OTP or any server-side single-use state. Because cap_data was chosen by the attacker in the public otp_login_ajax_action step (which stores the row before sending the SMS), the finalize step trivially matches and the user is looked up solely by the sslcare_login_phone meta. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who know a phone-linked user's number to take over that account.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-287"],"references":["https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/ssl-wireless-sms-notification/tags/3.8.1/sslWireless.php","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/8e4947d5-91f3-4b36-b309-7c52c483be3d?source=cve","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/ssl-wireless-sms-notification/ssl-wireless-sms-notification-360-unauthenticated-privilege-escalation"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-29T04:36:34.042597125+00:00"},"epss":null,"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).
