Vulnerability Overview

The AdForest theme for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.12. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying a user's identity prior to authenticating them through the 'sb_login_user_with_otp_fun' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as arbitrary users, including administrators.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.0.13, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function) The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
