Since the plugin does not enforce the SMS-retry limit on the server side, site owners should monitor SMS usage to detect abuse and consider disabling or replacing the plugin until a fix is available. Check the vendor advisory or plugin updates for remediation guidance.
Description
The FraudLabs Pro SMS Verification WordPress plugin versions through 1.12.1 contain a vulnerability where the SMS-retry limit is not enforced on the server side. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to send unlimited verification SMS messages to arbitrary phone numbers, potentially exhausting the site owner's paid SMS credits and causing spam to third parties.
