Administrator account takeover via unverified login intent
Published Sep 26, 2026 · Updated Sep 26, 2026
Login bypass in miniOrange OTP Login, Verification and SMS Notifications 5.5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to access administrator accounts. In mo_by_pass_login(), the skip_pass_fallback branch trusts mo_wp_login_intent=otp and resolves a WP_User by username without password or OTP verification. Exploitation requires WP Login OTP, Login with Only OTP, username-and-password login, and Admin OTP Bypass to be enabled together.
