What fixes it

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

Description

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.
