Summary
The Chat On Desk Order Notifications WordPress plugin before 1.0.9 does not verify that the one-time password has been validated before processing a password-reset request, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset the password of arbitrary users, including administrators, and take over their accounts when SMS one-time-password password reset is enabled.
