Vulnerability Overview

The Biometric Login for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to missing validation of WebAuthn authentication requests. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to take over accounts that have WebAuthn enabled on affected sites.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.0.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
