13th percentile - higher than 13% of all known CVEs

Summary

The Social Login, Passkeys, Magic Link & Email OTP WordPress plugin before version 1.4.1 does not enforce rate limiting or account lockout for passwordless email OTP verification, and stores short numeric codes in plaintext. An unauthenticated attacker who knows a registered email address can brute-force the code and log in as that user, including an administrator, leading to full site takeover.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain full control of the WordPress site by logging in as an administrator without knowing the password, potentially leading to data theft, defacement, or further attacks.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to version 1.4.1 or later. Implement rate limiting and account lockout after several failed attempts. Store OTP codes in hashed form.
