Description

The User Verification by PickPlugins WordPress plugin versions 2.0.38 up to but not including 2.0.49 contains an improper authentication vulnerability. The plugin does not rate limit the one-time-password verification step and does not expire the generated code. This allows unauthenticated attackers to brute force the OTP and log in as any user, including administrators, when the code is configured to use digits only. The issue is fixed in version 2.0.49.
