DescriptionCVE.org

The UsersWP WordPress plugin before 1.2.67 does not validate the selected authentication provider in its two-factor login handler, allowing an attacker who already knows a user's credentials to bypass the second authentication factor and log in as that user.

AnalysisAI

Two-factor authentication bypass in the UsersWP WordPress plugin before 1.2.67 lets an attacker who already possesses a victim's username and password skip the second authentication factor and fully log in as that user. The two-factor login handler fails to validate the selected authentication provider (CWE-287), so the 2FA step can be circumvented. Publicly available exploit code exists and a vendor patch is released, but there is no public exploit identified as actively exploited in the wild.

Technical ContextAI

UsersWP is a front-end user-registration, login, and profile plugin for WordPress that offers a two-factor login option. The flaw is a broken/improper authentication issue (CWE-287): the plugin's two-factor login handler does not validate which authentication provider was selected before completing login. Because provider selection is attacker-influenced and unchecked, the second-factor challenge can be improperly satisfied or skipped. The affected component is the plugin code identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:userswp, running within the WordPress PHP application stack, so exploitation occurs over normal HTTP(S) against the WordPress login flow rather than at the network or OS layer.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 1.2.67 - upgrade the UsersWP plugin to version 1.2.67 or later immediately, which is the primary and complete fix; consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/144202a9-e86f-4977-a97a-eca673859c81/ and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-13690. If patching cannot be done at once, compensating controls include temporarily disabling the UsersWP two-factor login feature and relying on a separate hardened MFA mechanism or an application firewall, though this removes the plugin's second factor entirely; enforcing strong, unique passwords and forcing password resets for high-value accounts reduces the value of the bypass since the attack requires known credentials; and placing the WordPress login behind an IP allowlist or WAF rules limits who can reach the vulnerable login handler, at the cost of blocking legitimate remote logins.
