The Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9 does not prevent a temporary user from creating an Application Password, and does not revoke one when the temporary access expires or is disabled, allowing the recipient of a temporary login to retain working access to the site over REST and XML-RPC after the administrator believes it has been withdrawn. The retained access carries whatever role was granted, which for the Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin before 1.9.9's main use case is Administrator.
AnalysisAI
Persistent credential retention in the Temporary Login Without Password WordPress plugin (before 1.9.9) allows a temporary user to generate a WordPress Application Password during their valid session window, which continues to authenticate via the REST API and XML-RPC indefinitely after the administrator revokes or expires the temporary account. Because the plugin's primary use case provisions Administrator-level access to temporary users, a trust-model breach occurs: the administrator believes access has been withdrawn, while the temporary user silently retains full admin-equivalent API access. …
