Description
The Web3 – Crypto wallet Login & NFT token gating plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.0. This is due to insufficient verification on the 'handle_auth_request' and 'hadle_login_request' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including an administrator, as long as they have access to the username.
