Description
The SMS Alert Order Notifications – WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation due to insufficient user OTP validation in the handleWpLoginCreateUserAction() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to impersonate any account by supplying its username or email and elevate their privileges to that of an administrator.
