# WordPress User Verification plugin: brute-forceable login code lets attackers log in

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-76792 (this .md is for agents)

The User Verification by PickPlugins WordPress plugin does not rate limit the one-time-password check during login and never expires the generated code. When the code uses digits only, an unauthenticated attacker can guess it and log in as any user, including administrators.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check whether the `User Verification` plugin by PickPlugins is installed and its version in the WordPress admin under Plugins.
- Check whether the plugin's one-time-password login is enabled and set to digits-only codes.

## Fix

- User Verification by PickPlugins: move to `2.0.49` or later

## Timeline

- 2026-11-12T06:36:54+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-76792

## From the sources

The User Verification by PickPlugins WordPress plugin before 2.0.49 does not rate limit the verification step of its one-time-password login, and does not expire the generated code, allowing unauthenticated attackers to brute force it and log in as any user, including administrators, where the code is configured to use digits only.
