Descriptions

Improper Authentication vulnerability in Melapress WP 2FA allows Authentication Bypass.This issue affects WP 2FA: from n/a through 2.2.0.

Una vulnerabilidad de autenticación incorrecta en Melapress WP 2FA permite omitir la autenticación. Este problema afecta a WP 2FA: desde n/a hasta 2.2.0.

The WP 2FA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the login_form_validate_2fa function in versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to receive a 2fa login code even if the provider is not enabled for that user.
