AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, consider implementing external rate limiting or additional authentication controls on the OTP verification process to reduce brute force risk.

Description

The SupportCandy – Helpdesk & Customer Support Ticket System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.7. This is due to missing rate limiting on the OTP verification for guest login. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to customer support tickets by brute forcing the 6-digit OTP code.
