Orion SMS OTP Verification <= 1.1.7 - Authentication Bypass via Account Takeover
Vulnerability Description
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.
