WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Limit Login Attempts Reloaded 3.0.0 - 3.4.0 - Two-Factor Authentication Bypass via XML-RPC
Description
The plugin does not enforce its two-factor authentication on every password-authentication route, so an attacker who already knows a protected user's password can authenticate through an alternative login interface and obtain that user's access without completing the second factor.
