AI-suggested
A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users of the Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase plugin should update to the fixed version immediately to prevent exploitation. Since the vulnerability arises from a default configuration, updating the plugin will correct the 'default_user_role' setting and block unauthorized administrator account creation.
Description
The Miniorange OTP Verification with Firebase plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 3.6.0 due to the insecure 'administrator' default value for the 'default_user_role' option. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an administrator user even if the registration form is disabled.
