Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) < 5.8.0 - Password Protection Mode Security Feature Bypass

Description

The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to security feature bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.1. This is due to a flawed authentication mechanism within the maybe_process_login function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the Password Protection feature and view password protected pages.
