Vulnerability Overview

The Login with phone number plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized password resets in versions up to, and including 1.7.34. This is due to the plugin generating too weak a reset code, and the code used to reset the password has no attempt or time limit. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary users by guessing a 6-digit numeric reset code.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.7.35, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-640 (Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password) The product contains a mechanism for users to recover or change their passwords without knowing the original password, but the mechanism is weak.
