Unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) in Clean Login <= 1.15 versions.
AnalysisAI
Insecure direct object reference in the Clean Login WordPress plugin versions 1.15 and earlier allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate object identifiers to modify data they should not control and to disrupt plugin-managed functionality. The flaw is reported by Patchstack and tagged as an authentication bypass affecting Alberto Hornero's Clean Login plugin, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS 3.1 rates it 8.2 due to the network-reachable, no-privileges, no-interaction vector with limited integrity impact and high availability impact.
Technical ContextAI
Clean Login is a third-party WordPress plugin by author Alberto Hornero (CPE cpe:2.3:a:alberto_hornero:clean_login) that provides front-end login, registration, and account management forms as a substitute for the default WP-Admin flows. CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) describes a class of bug in which an HTTP parameter such as a user ID, token, or record ID is trusted by the server without verifying that the requester actually owns or is permitted to act on that object. In practice this typically means a plugin endpoint reads an identifier from a GET/POST parameter or AJAX action and performs a lookup, update, or deletion against the target object without re-checking the current session's capabilities or ownership.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the input lists only the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/clean-login/vulnerability/wordpress-clean-login-plugin-1-15-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability) and no fix version, so administrators should monitor that page and the plugin's WordPress.org repository for a release greater than 1.15 and upgrade as soon as it ships. Until a fixed release is available, the highest-confidence compensating control is to deactivate and uninstall the Clean Login plugin and revert to standard wp-login.php (trade-off: any custom front-end login/registration pages provided by Clean Login will stop working, requiring shortcode/template cleanup). If removal is not acceptable, restrict access to the Clean Login front-end endpoints and any plugin-specific admin-ajax.php or REST actions via a WAF or web-server ACL - for example a Patchstack/Wordfence virtual patch, or nginx/Apache rules that require an authenticated session cookie for the relevant URLs (trade-off: legitimate self-service registration and password reset are also blocked for unauthenticated visitors).
