Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
๐จ **Essence**: Authentication Bypass in WordPress Temporary Login Plugin. <br>๐ฅ **Consequences**: Attackers can log in as ANY valid temporary user without a token. Full account takeover possible. ๐
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
๐ **CWE-288**: Authentication Bypass. <br>๐ **Flaw**: `maybe_login_temporary_user()` fails to validate `temp-login-token` as a scalar. `empty()` check is bypassed via array input.โฆ
๐ข **Vendor**: Elementor. <br>๐ฆ **Product**: Temporary Login. <br>๐ **Affected**: Version **1.0.0** and earlier. โ ๏ธ
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
๐ค **Privileges**: Arbitrary User Impersonation. <br>๐ **Data**: Full access to the targeted user's account. No valid token required. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
๐ **Public Exp?**: No specific PoC code provided in data. <br>๐ **Wild Exploitation**: Likely feasible given the simple logic flaw (array injection). High risk of automated attacks. ๐ค
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
๐ **Check**: Scan for `temp-login-token` parameter. <br>๐งช **Test**: Send `temp-login-token[]=1` (array) instead of string. <br>๐ **Result**: If login succeeds without token, vulnerable. ๐ก๏ธ
Q8Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)
๐ ๏ธ **Fix**: Update plugin to version **>1.0.0**. <br>๐ **Patch**: Ensure `temp-login-token` is strictly validated as a scalar string before processing. ๐
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
๐ง **Workaround**: Disable the Temporary Login plugin if not needed. <br>๐ซ **Block**: Restrict access to `/wp-admin` or plugin endpoints via WAF. ๐งฑ
