Live › vulnerability › CVE-2026-120574
The SureCart plugin for WordPress has a passwordless login route with no brute-force protection on its 6-digit code. An unauthenticated attacker can guess the code and get a logged-in session as any user, including an administrator.
Summary written from the sources below. Check the originals before acting.
First seen by InfraStack 2026-11-03 05:48 UTC. All times on this page are UTC.
WordPress sites running the SureCart plugin at version 4.9.5 or lower. An unauthenticated attacker can request a login code for any user, including an administrator, and brute-force the 6-digit code through the REST route to get a logged-in session. Sites on 4.9.6 or later, or without SureCart, can skip it.
| Product | Ecosystem | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| surecart | wordpress | <= 4.9.5 | 4.9.6 |
4.9.6 or higher, ideally 4.11.0+4.4.0) are the exposed path; also review admin accounts and recent logins for unexpected sessionsUpdate SureCart to 4.9.6 or later (Wordfence); the vendor's changelog shows further login-code hardening in 4.10.0 and 4.11.0, so move to the latest release (4.11.0 or newer).
Each row is the first time that source carried this signal. The analyst’s rows are its own findings.
The SureCart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthenticated account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.5. The passwordless one-time-code login REST route (VerificationCodeController::verify(), whose permission callback returns true) resolves an attacker-supplied login to any WordPress user, verifies a 6-digit code, and on success calls $user->login() → wp_set_auth_cookie() for a user of any role. In the affected versions this path has no per-account attempt counter, no persistent email/IP lockout or rate limit (the upstream CDN throttle is bypassable via IP rotation), and no restriction preventing high-privilege accounts from being logged in through it. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger a code for any user (including an administrator) via the companion unauthenticated endpoint and brute-force the 6-digit code to obtain an authenticated session as that user, resulting in a full administrator account takeover.
