CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Temporary Login Without Password plugin for WordPress versions prior to 1.9.9 is vulnerable as it fails to verify whether a user requesting temporary login has network super admin rights, potentially allowing a single-site administrator to gain control over the entire multisite network. This oversight can also enable existing accounts to be improperly promoted to super admin status, posing a significant risk of unauthorized access and control. WordPress multisite administrators should prioritize patching this vulnerability to safeguard their networks against potential takeover.
Original NVD Description
The Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9 does not verify that the user requesting a temporary login holds network super admin rights before granting the new account those rights, allowing an administrator of a single site on a multisite network to take over the whole network. The same missing check also allows an existing account, including the attacker's own, to be promoted.
