Descriptions

The WordPress & WooCommerce Affiliate Program plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.1. This is due to the rtwwwap_login_request_callback() function not properly validating a user's identity prior to authenticating them to the site. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including administrators, granted they have access to the administrator's email.

El complemento WordPress &amp; WooCommerce Affiliate Program para WordPress es vulnerable a la omisión de autenticación en todas las versiones hasta la 8.4.1 incluida. Esto se debe a que la función rtwwwap_login_request_callback() no valida correctamente la identidad de un usuario antes de autenticarlo en el sitio. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inicien sesión como cualquier usuario, incluidos los administradores, siempre que tengan acceso al correo electrónico del administrador.
