The Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 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.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
