At a glance
CVE-2024-12594 is a high-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Login Page Styler WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 7.1.1. It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above. The issue is fixed in version 7.1.2; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed December 2024, reported by Lucio Sá.
Vulnerability Overview
The Custom Login Page Styler – Login Protected Private Site , Change wp-admin login url , WordPress login logo , Temporary admin login access , Rename login , Login customizer, Hide wp-login – Limit Login Attempts – Locked Site plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to a missing capability check on the 'lps_generate_temp_access_url' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to login as other users such as subscribers.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Login Page Styler <= 7.1.1 carries this weakness at lps_generate_temp_access_url, and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Login Page Styler the fix is 7.1.2: builds <= 7.1.1 are affected, anything from 7.1.2 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 7.1.2, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Login Page Styler 7.1.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
