CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 1.60%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The User Verification WordPress plugin before 1.0.94 was affected by an Auth Bypass security vulnerability. To bypass authentication, we only need to know the user’s username. Depending on whose username we know, which can be easily queried because it is usually public data, we may even be given an administrative role on the website.
