WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Descope < 1.2.0 - Unauthenticated Account Takeover
Description
The plugin does not validate the authentication token it receives before creating a WordPress session, accepting any non-empty token, so an unauthenticated attacker can obtain a session for any existing account, including an administrator, by supplying that account's email address.
