Last modified
CVE-2026-13142 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Social Login, Passkeys, Magic Link & Email OTP WordPress plugin before 1.4.1 does not enforce rate limiting or a working attempt lockout on its passwordless email one-time-password verification, and stores the short numeric codes in plaintext, allowing an unauthenticated attacker who knows a registered email address to brute-force the code and log in as that user, including an administrator, leading to full site takeover.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
