Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to mroccon.

The SMS Alert – SMS Notifications & OTP Login, COD Verification, Abandoned Cart Recovery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.2. This is due to insufficient restriction on the capabilities a user may grant themselves. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges beyond those intended for their role.
