{"id":"CVE-2026-120574","published":"2026-11-03T05:18:33.840","lastModified":"2026-11-03T05:18:34.010","description":"The SureCart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.5. The passwordless one-time-code login REST route (VerificationCodeController::verify(), whose permission callback returns true) resolves an attacker-supplied login to any WordPress user, verifies a 6-digit code, and on success calls $user->login() → wp_set_auth_cookie() for a user of any role. In the affected versions this path has no per-account attempt counter, no persistent email/IP lockout or rate limit (the upstream CDN throttle is bypassable via IP rotation), and no restriction preventing high-privilege accounts from being logged in through it. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger a code for any user (including an administrator) via the companion unauthenticated endpoint and brute-force the 6-digit code to obtain an authenticated session as that user, resulting in a full administrator account takeover.","cvssScore":8.1,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cwes":["CWE-287"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/surecart/trunk/app/src/Controllers/Rest/VerificationCodeController.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/surecart/trunk/app/src/Models/User.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/surecart/trunk/app/src/Rest/VerificationCodeRestServiceProvider.php","tags":[]},{"url":"https://wordpress.org/plugins/surecart/#developers","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/dffdcaa2-5100-48f5-9b82-e22075fd87e5?source=cve","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
