At a glance
CVE-2025-7665 is a high-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase WordPress plugin, affecting versions 3.1.0 – 3.6.2. It carries a CVSS score of 8.1 (reachable over the network; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 3.6.3; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2025, reported by kr0d.
Vulnerability Overview
The Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'handle_mofirebase_form_options' function in versions 3.1.0 to 3.6.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the default role to Administrator. Premium features must be enabled in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase 3.1.0 – 3.6.2 carries this weakness at handle_mofirebase_form_options, and reaching it takes no account at all. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase the fix is 3.6.3: builds 3.1.0 – 3.6.2 are affected, anything from 3.6.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.6.3, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase 3.6.3 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
