CVE-2025-9967

The Orion SMS OTP Verification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's password to a one-time password if the attacker knows the user's phone number

Summary		(es) El plugin Orion SMS OTP Verification para WordPress es vulnerable a escalada de privilegios mediante toma de control de cuenta en todas las versiones hasta la 1.1.7, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de actualizar su contraseña.
