{"id":"CVE-2026-15014","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"SMS Alert <= 3.9.7 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover via 'billing_phone' Parameter","description":"The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 via the `billing_phone` parameter. This is due to the `processRegistration()` function using a phone-unbound `$_SESSION['sa_mobile_verified']` boolean flag as the sole gate before issuing an authentication cookie — the flag is set to `true` after any successful OTP validation without being bound to the specific phone number that was verified. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to complete OTP verification for a phone number they control, then resubmit the registration request with a victim's `billing_phone` value to have `wp_set_auth_cookie()` called for the resolved victim account, enabling full authentication as any existing WordPress user whose registered phone number is known or guessable, including administrators.","publishedAt":"2026-07-28T06:54:34.753Z","updatedAt":"2026-07-28T13:56:55.300Z","severity":{"score":9.8,"label":"Critical","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["cozyvision1 SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery"],"affected":[{"vendor":"cozyvision1","product":"SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"3.9.7","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/661d4ea9-572d-4544-b5cf-39fd69c104a6?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L691","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L680","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L252","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/woocommerce/wc-registration.php#L602","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sms-alert/tags/3.9.6/handler/forms/FormInterface.php#L56","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3623914%40sms-alert&new=3623914%40sms-alert"],"weaknesses":["CWE-288"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:11:00.674Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/15xxx/CVE-2026-15014.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-15014","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-07-28T06:54:34.753Z","dateUpdated":"2026-07-28T13:56:55.300Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-07-07T22:31:56.486Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"SMS Alert <= 3.9.7 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover via 'billing_phone' Parameter","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 via the `billing_phone` parameter.
