介绍

## Exploit Information

**Exploit Title:** WordPress Plugin Limit Login Attempts Reloaded 2.13.0 - Login Limit Bypass  
**CVE:** [CVE-2020-35590](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-35590)  
**Date:** 2020-06-09  
**Exploit Author:** N4nj0  
**Software Link:** [https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/)  
**Version:** 2.13.0  
**Tested on:** WordPress 5.4.1, 5.4.2  
**Vulnerability Advisory:** [https://n4nj0.github.io/advisories/wordpress-plugin-limit-login-attempts-reloaded/](https://n4nj0.github.io/advisories/wordpress-plugin-limit-login-attempts-reloaded/)  

The affected WordPress plugin is aimed to be a bruteforce attack protection mechanism, and is currently installed in more than **1 million** of active installations.  
I've found a rate limiting bypass under a non-default configuration, which effectively defeats the plugin purpose.
