Account takeover via unverified phone number
Published Sep 19, 2025 · Updated Sep 19, 2025
Authentication bypass in Aonetheme Service Finder SMS System 2.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to log in as arbitrary users. The OTP login flow uses a submitted phone number to select an account and creates an authenticated session without first verifying control of that number. No credentials are required, and successful requests assume the privileges of the selected WordPress account, including an administrator account if targeted.
