DescriptionCVE.org

The MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 does not correctly verify the cryptographic signature of the token used to authenticate its phone-based login, allowing unauthenticated attackers who know a registered user's phone number to forge a token and take over that user's account, including administrator accounts.

AnalysisAI

Account takeover in MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 is achievable by unauthenticated remote attackers who know a target's registered phone number, by forging a cryptographically invalid login token that the plugin fails to properly verify. This yields full control over the targeted account, including administrator-level WordPress accounts. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify registered user's phone number via OSINT or data breach
Delivery
Craft forged phone-login token using public POC
Exploit
Submit token to MStore API REST authentication endpoint
Execution
Server accepts token without valid signature verification
Persist
Authenticate as target user
Impact

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The MStore API plugin must be installed and active on the target WordPress site, and the phone-number-based login feature must be in use - sites relying solely on password or OAuth authentication are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.1 High score (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects a network-exploitable, pre-authentication flaw with full impact triad - but the AC:H metric is the critical limiting factor, encoding the requirement to know a registered user's phone number before exploitation is possible. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker targeting a specific WordPress administrator identifies their registered phone number from a public profile, leaked dataset, or prior reconnaissance. Using the publicly available POC, the attacker crafts a forged phone-login token for that phone number and submits it to the MStore API REST endpoint, successfully bypassing authentication. …
Remediation Update MStore API to version 4.21.0 or later, which introduces correct cryptographic signature verification for phone-based login tokens; this is the only confirmed fix per vendor advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
