Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Login with phone number plugin allows attackers to bypass access controls. The CVSS 9.8 indicates unauthenticated attackers can likely access sensitive authentication functionality without proper authorization checks.

MitigationUpdate to a version beyond 1.6.93 if available, or implement proper authorization checks on all login-related endpoints to verify user identity before granting access.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Login with phone number plugin is installed
    Check your CMS/plugin directory for the Login with phone number plugin. For WordPress, check wp-content/plugins/ for a folder related to phone login/phone authentication. For other platforms, locate the plugin/module in the application structure.
    Affected if The plugin is present in the system
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Check the plugin's main file header (e.g., readme.txt, plugin.php, or composer.json) for the version number. In WordPress, this is often in the plugin's main PHP file comments or in the Plugins admin page.
    Affected if The version is 1.6.93 or lower, or the version cannot be determined (unknown versions should be treated as affected)
  3. Inspect login endpoints for authorization controls
    Examine the login-related API endpoints or form handlers in the plugin code. Look for functions handling phone number login verification. Check if these endpoints include authorization checks (e.g., capability checks, session validation) before processing login requests.
    Affected if No authorization checks are found before processing authentication requests
  4. Test unauthenticated access to login functions
    If safe to do in a test environment, send a crafted request to the phone login endpoint without providing valid authentication credentials. Observe if the system processes the request without rejecting it.
    Affected if The system accepts and processes unauthenticated requests to login functionality
  5. Review plugin configuration for access restrictions
    Check the plugin admin settings panel for any access control or authorization options. Verify if there are settings to restrict which users/roles can use the phone login feature.
    Affected if No access restrictions are configurable or enabled, allowing any user to access login functionality

A user is affected if the Login with phone number plugin is installed with version 1.6.93 or lower and login endpoints lack proper authorization checks before processing requests.
