The Limit Login Attempts Security WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 does not confirm that its two-factor authentication step succeeded before completing a login and treats a failure to build that step as success, so an attacker who holds a protected user's password can bypass the second factor by sending a request header that breaks the step.
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 | Limit Login Attempts Security | unaffected |
