CVE-2026-1729 | The AdForest theme for WordPress is vulnerable to authentica… | CVSS 9.8 CRITICAL

Description

The AdForest theme for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.12. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a user's identity prior to authenticating them through the 'sb_login_user_with_otp_fun' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as arbitrary users, including administrators.
