{"id":"CVE-2026-104014","published":"2026-11-07T12:17:41.313","lastModified":"2026-11-07T19:17:17.340","description":"The Naimur Email OTP Verification for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.1.0. This is due to the plugin's password-reset finalization endpoint (the wp_ajax_nopriv_ceovw_update_new_password action handled by CEOVW_AJAX::update_new_password()) authorizing the reset solely by the presence of a database row marking an email as 'VERIFIED', with no timestamp check, no session binding, and no per-reset token — combined with mark_otp_as_verified_for_reset() leaving the row in that state after a user enters their code (abandoning the flow leaves the row behind), and a scheduled 'ceovw_cleanup_expired_otps_event' cron that has no add_action() handler anywhere in the plugin so cleanup never runs. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to take over any account whose owner previously requested and verified a password-reset code and did not immediately finish choosing a new password — the attacker needs only the victim's email address and a nonce that the plugin itself localizes publicly into the CEOVW_APP global on the WooCommerce account page for logged-out visitors, after which they call the endpoint, overwrite the victim's password, and are returned a live wordpress_logged_in_ session cookie for that user (full site takeover if the account is an administrator).","cvssScore":9.8,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-287"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce/tags/2.1.0/includes/class-ajax.php#L10","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce/tags/2.1.0/includes/class-ajax.php#L163","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce/tags/2.1.0/includes/class-security.php#L72","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce/tags/2.1.0/includes/class-security.php#L77","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce/tags/2.1.0/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce.php#L38","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/naimur-email-otp-for-woocommerce/tags/2.1.1/includes/class-ajax.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/b29918de-22a2-424f-ad86-ad83874ca81a?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"The Naimur Email OTP Verification for WooCommerce plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and take over user accounts by reusing previously verified but incomplete password-reset requests. This occurs because the plugin stores a 'VERIFIED' state indefinitely without expiration or session binding, and lacks per-reset tokens or timestamp validation.","exploitability":"Exploitation is straightforward for attackers who know a victim's email address and can retrieve the publicly exposed nonce from the CEOVW_APP global on the WooCommerce account page; no authentication or special privileges are required.","blast_radius":"Successful exploitation grants full administrative or user-level session hijacking, enabling complete site compromise if the targeted account has elevated privileges such as administrator access.","remediation":"Upgrade to version 2.1.1 or later, which implements per-reset tokens, timestamp validation, and proper cleanup of verified OTP rows after successful password reset.","detection":"Defenders should monitor for repeated calls to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=ceovw_update_new_password from the same IP with different email addresses but identical nonce values, especially when combined with prior requests to ceovw_verify_otp endpoints; additionally, inspect WordPress debug logs for unexpected password changes without corresponding login events.","tags":["auth-bypass","otp","wordpress","woocommerce","session-hijack","insecure-storage"],"model":"garnet-coder","analyzedAt":"2026-11-08T09:45:59.442Z"}}
