WordPress Contest Gallery是WordPress基金会开源的一个管理竞赛作品的CMS组件。 WordPress Contest Gallery 30.0.7之前版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于前端登录未经过标准WordPress认证流程，在密码检查后直接签发认证cookie，绕过已安装的暴力破解保护和双因素认证，可能导致针对任意账户（包括管理员）进行无限且无节制的密码猜测，直至完全接管账户。

Vulnerability Title
Contest Gallery < 30.0.7 - Unauthenticated Login-Protection and 2FA Bypass via post_cg_login

Vulnerability Description
The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 30.0.7 does not route its front-end login through the standard WordPress authentication flow, issuing an authentication cookie directly after the password check, which bypasses installed brute-force-protection and two-factor-authentication Contest Gallery WordPress plugin before 30.0.7 and enables unlimited, unthrottled password guessing against any account (including administrators) up to full account takeover.
