CVE-2026-12695 describes an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the miniOrange 2FA WordPress plugin prior to version 6.2.6. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not correctly validate the submitted OTP against the legitimate user's stored secret. Instead, it verifies the OTP against a value supplied by the attacker. This logic flaw enables an attacker who has obtained the victim's password to bypass the two-factor authentication mechanism and access the victim's account with potentially elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker who knows a victim's password to bypass the two-factor authentication protection. This results in full compromise of the victim's account, including administrator accounts, leading to complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss for the affected WordPress site accounts.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch link is provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, users should consider disabling the miniOrange 2FA plugin or using alternative two-factor authentication methods to mitigate risk.
