Is SMS Alert safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation in SMS Alert Order Notifications <= 4.0.2 versions.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Cozy Vision Technologies Pvt. Ltd. SMS Alert Order Notifications sms-alert allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects SMS Alert Order Notifications: from n/a through 4.0.1.

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.

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.

The SMS Alert WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not check that the acting administrator is allowed to manage the selected users before returning their stored billing phone numbers, allowing an administrator of one site on a multisite network to disclose the phone numbers of users who belong to other sites on that network. This affects multisite only, and requires the SMS Alert WordPress plugin before 4.0.1's gateway credentials to be stored on the acting administrator's own site.

Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Cozy Vision Technologies Pvt. Ltd. SMS Alert Order Notifications sms-alert allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects SMS Alert Order Notifications: from n/a through 4.0.0.

Subscriber Privilege Escalation in SMS Alert Order Notifications <= 3.9.9 versions.

Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation in SMS Alert Order Notifications <= 3.9.7 versions.

The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via 'checkout_payment_plans' and 'order_status' Settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. This is a second-order SQL injection: the malicious payload is stored in the 'checkout_payment_plans' and 'order_status' settings via update_option() and executed later when the cod_to_prepaid_cart_notification_sendsms_hook WP-Cron event fires SA_CodTOPrepaid::sendSms().

The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 via the `billing_phone` parameter. This is due to the `processRegistration()` function using a phone-unbound `$_SESSION['sa_mobile_verified']` boolean flag as the sole gate before issuing an authentication cookie — the flag is set to `true` after any successful OTP validation without being bound to the specific phone number that was verified. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to complete OTP verification for a phone number they control, then resubmit the registration request with a victim's `billing_phone` value to have `wp_set_auth_cookie()` called for the resolved victim account, enabling full authentication as any existing WordPress user whose registered phone number is known or guessable, including administrators.

The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the 'orderby' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation in SMS Alert Order Notifications <= 3.9.6 versions.

The SMS Alert – SMS & OTP for WooCommerce, Order Notifications & Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.5. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details like reset the password of any user account, including administrators, and gain full access to those accounts. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user's email addresses, including administrators, and leverage that to reset the user's password and gain access to their account. This is only vulnerable on sites with OTP verification for password resets enabled, and where the administrator (or other user) has set a phone number for OTP verification.

Unauthenticated Broken Authentication in SMS Alert Order Notifications <= 3.9.3 versions.

Subscriber Privilege Escalation in SMS Alert Order Notifications <= 3.9.4 versions.

The SMS Alert Order Notifications – WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.9. This is due to the plugin using the Host header to determine if the plugin is in a playground environment.
