CVE-2026-16619

The miniOrange 2FA WordPress plugin before 6.2.8 does not correctly limit the number of second-factor verification attempts, tracking them against a client-supplied identifier that is reissued on every login, allowing an attacker who already knows a user's password to guess the one-time code without limit and take over the account.

What the metrics mean

  • It is reachable over a network, without needing local access.
  • For an attacker who can reach it, exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control.
  • To exploit it, an ordinary user account is needed.
  • Beyond that, no action by a user is required.
