Description

The Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass due to a missing capability check on the 'google-authenticator/trunk/google-authenticator.php' file in versions up to, and including, 0.47. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to bypass 2FA when logging in with an email address and valid password.
