CVE-2026-14309: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in Chat On Desk Order Notifications
The Chat On Desk Order Notifications WordPress plugin before 1.0.9 does not verify that the one-time password has been validated before processing a password-reset request, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary users, including administrators, and take over their accounts when SMS one-time-password password reset is enabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14309 is an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) in the Chat On Desk Order Notifications WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.0.9. The plugin does not confirm that the one-time password used in the password reset process has been validated, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset passwords for any user, including administrators. This can lead to full account compromise if the SMS one-time-password reset feature is enabled.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to reset passwords of arbitrary users, including administrators, resulting in complete account takeover. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected accounts and potentially the entire WordPress site.
