What is CVE-2025-4094?

The DIGITS plugin for WordPress, developed by WPDevArt, allows users to sign up or log in using their mobile numbers. A notable vulnerability exists in versions prior to 8.4.6.1 where the plugin fails to properly limit the number of One-Time Password (OTP) validation attempts. This oversight could lead to potential brute force attacks, allowing malicious actors to perform numerous authorization attempts rapidly. As a result, attackers may exploit this weakness to gain unauthorized access to user accounts, posing significant security risks to website administrators and users alike. It is crucial for users of the plugin to update to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
