Upstream source description

The SMS Alert WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not verify that the account being logged in is the one the verified one-time code belongs to, allowing unauthenticated attackers to sign in as any user with a stored phone number, including an administrator, by completing a code challenge on a phone they control.
