Account takeover via unvalidated Firebase OTP login
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
Authentication bypass in RadiusTheme Classified Listing Mobile Number Verification 1.6.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over accounts. process_otp_login() accepts attacker-supplied OTP and UID values without server-side Firebase OTP validation, then authenticates the user associated with the supplied phone number. The Firebase gateway and OTP login must be enabled, and the target phone number must be known or guessed; a registered administrator number yields administrator access.
