The Descope WordPress plugin before 1.2.0 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.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unknown | Descope | unaffected |
