Social Login Passkeys Magic Link Email Otp
Monthly
Authentication bypass via OTP brute-force in the 'Social Login, Passkeys, Magic Link & Email OTP' WordPress plugin before 1.4.1 lets an unauthenticated attacker who knows a registered email address guess the passwordless one-time-password and log in as that user, including an administrator, resulting in full site takeover. The plugin fails to enforce rate limiting or a working lockout on OTP verification and stores the short numeric codes in plaintext, so codes can be exhausted rapidly. Publicly available exploit code exists (reported by WPScan) and a vendor patch is available, though EPSS remains low at 0.14%.
