Description

The Web3 WordPress plugin before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass due to incorrect authentication checking in the login flow in functions &#39;handle_auth_request&#39; and &#39;hadle_login_request&#39;. This makes it possible for non authenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the username.
