CVE-2026-13142

Passwordless Login by VentraConnect < 1.4.1 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover via Email OTP Brute Force

Published Jul 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Social Login, Passkeys, Magic Link & Email OTP WordPress plugin before 1.4.1 does not enforce rate limiting or a working attempt lockout on its passwordless email one-time-password verification, and stores the short numeric codes in plaintext, allowing an unauthenticated attacker who knows a registered email address to brute-force the code and log in as that user, including an administrator, leading to full site takeover.
