An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-94257 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown SMS Alert. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94257/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94257/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-94257","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94257/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-94257","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2026-104011","GHSA-vphv-2c5j-m636"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can escalate privileges to administrator by resetting arbitrary user passwords via a flawed OTP verification process in the SMS Alert plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The SMS Alert  WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not bind the account whose password is being changed to the phone number that was actually verified during its OTP password reset, allowing unauthenticated attackers to set a new password on an arbitrary account, including an administrator, by verifying a one-time code sent to a phone number they control.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"SMS Alert 3.9.6 - 4.0.0 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Arbitrary Password Reset","id":"CVE-2026-94257","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SMS Alert 3.6.4 - 4.0.0 - Admin+ Network User Billing Phone Disclosure via Bulk User Actions","id":"CVE-2026-94258"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SMS Alert 4.0.0 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via Login with OTP","id":"CVE-2026-94256"},"products":["SMS Alert"],"published":"2026-10-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can escalate privileges to administrator by resetting arbitrary user passwords via a flawed OTP verification process in the SMS Alert plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94257/"}
