CVE-2026-110135 OTP Login & Register Woocommerce CVE debrief
The OTP Login & Register Woocommerce WordPress plugin before 2.7.3 does not adequately limit one-time-password verification attempts, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to bypass the limit and brute-force the short numeric login code, potentially leading to account takeovers without a password. Defenders should assess exposure and prioritize remediation to prevent such attacks. The vulnerability is tracked against a client-supplied value, enabling attackers to freely change and bypass the limit.

Security teams and vulnerability management teams should review and implement additional security measures to prevent brute-force attacks on login codes.
Why it matters

- An unauthenticated attacker can bypass the limit and brute-force the short numeric login code to take over an account without its password.
Technical summary
The OTP Login & Register Woocommerce WordPress plugin before 2.7.3 does not adequately limit one-time-password verification attempts, because the attempt limit is tracked against a value the client itself supplies and can change freely, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to bypass the limit and brute-force the short numeric login code to take over an account without its password. The plugin's implementation enables an attacker to bypass security measures and gain unauthorized access to accounts. Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating this vulnerability in their WordPress installations.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying and remediating this vulnerability in their WordPress installations.
